Let ABC be a triangle with integral side lengths such that angle A=3 * angle B. Find the minimum value of its perimeter.
(In reply to
A triangle that works, may not be minimum by Jer)
Seeing that Jer found a solution other than a multiple of the one I found (I had found the minimum and the first three of its multiples), I extended the search beyond a perimeter of 100, to 1500. This time only triangles with a gcd(a,b,c) = 1 are shown:
