Analyzing the Setup

Welcome, future engineer. Today, we are not just solving a problem; we are uncovering a hidden symmetry. When you look at this diagram, do not see just lines and angles; see a structure, a rectangle that acts as the foundation for two distinct worlds: the lower triangle and the upper triangle .
Our journey begins by defining our variables. Let us set the base and the height . Because is a rectangle, we immediately know that and . This is our anchor.

The Bridge of Trigonometry

We are given the area of as . Since the area of a right-angled triangle is , we have:
This gives us a crucial relationship:
Keep this in your pocket; we will need it later.
Now, look at the vertical segment . The problem gives us a beautiful constraint: . Since , we can write:
Rearranging this, we find . This is the key to the upper triangle.
In , . Substituting our expression for , we get:
Since , we have arrived at the elegant relation:

The Quadratic Revelation

Here is where the magic happens. We are told . This means .
Substituting this into our previous equation, we get:
Multiplying by and rearranging, we obtain the quadratic equation:
Solving this using the quadratic formula, we find or .

The Final Victory

To maximize the ratio , we need to be as small as possible. Thus, we choose , which means and .
Substituting back into our area equation, we find . Now, calculating the sides of :
Adding these together, the perimeter is:
The terms cancel with such satisfying precision. You have mastered the geometry, and the final answer is 6.
