Triangle ABC has an altitude drawn from C to AB, meeting the base at point P. This altitude divides the triangle into two unequal right triangles.
Triangle A'B'C' also has a point, P' on its base, with a line segment connecting it to vertex C', but chosen so that angle A'P'C' is 60°, with the resulting triangle A'P'C' though, not being equilateral.
All eight line segments are of integer length, and each triangle has a perimeter less than 50. The bases, AB and A'B', are the longest sides in each of the two respective original triangles, and they differ by 1 unit in length.
- What are the dimensions of the triangles ABC and A'B'C'?
- What are the lengths of CP and C'P'?
