Problem 22

Let $\triangle{ABC}$ be a triangle with integer side lengths and the property that $\angle{B} = 2\angle{A}$. What is the least possible perimeter of such a triangle?

$\textbf{(A) }13 \qquad \textbf{(B) }14 \qquad \textbf{(C) }15 \qquad \textbf{(D) }16 \qquad \textbf{(E) }17 \qquad$

Solution 1

Let $AB=c$, $BC=a$, $AC=b$. According to the law of sines, \[\frac{b}{a}=\frac{\sin \angle B}{\sin \angle A}\] \[=2\cos\]
