Let A B C be the triangle, right angled at B . Let B D be the median from B . Since B D divides angle B in the ratio 1 : 2 , we take ∠ A B D = 6 0 ∘ , ∠ C B D = 3 0 ∘ , WLOG.
Since ∠ B = 9 0 ∘ , D is the circumcentre of triangle A B C , so D B = D A = D C = 2 0 1 5 , so that hypotenuse, h = B C = 4 0 3 0 . Also, D B = D A gives ∠ B A C = ∠ B A D = ∠ A B D = 6 0 ∘ , so our triangle is a 3 0 ∘ − 6 0 ∘ − 9 0 ∘ triangle.
Therefore perimeter , P = h + 2 3 h + 2 h = 4 0 3 0 + 2 0 1 5 3 + 2 0 1 5 = 6 0 4 5 + 2 0 1 5 3 . Therefore a + b + c = 8 0 6 3 .
