Solution 1

Let $x=\angle CAM$, so $3x=\angle CDM$. Then, $\frac{\tan 3x}{\tan x}=\frac{CM/1}{CM/11}=11$. Expanding $\tan 3x$ using the angle sum identity gives

$$\tan 3x=\tan(2x+x)=\frac{3\tan x-\tan^3x}{1-3\tan^2x}.$$ Thus, $\frac{3-\tan^2x}{1-3\tan^2x}=11$. Solving, we get $\tan x= \frac 12$. Hence, $CM=\frac{11}2$ and $AC= \frac{11\sqrt{5}}2$ by the Pythagorean Theorem. The total perimeter is $2(AC + CM) = \sqrt{605}+11$. The answer is thus $a+b=\boxed{616}$.

Solution 2

In a similar fashion, we encode the angles as complex numbers, so if $BM=x$, then $\angle BAD=\text{Arg}(11+xi)$ and $\angle BDM=\text{Arg}(1+xi)$. So we need only find $x$ such that $\text{Arg}((11+xi)^3)=\text{Arg}(1331-33x^2+(363x-x^3)i)=\text{Arg}(1+xi)$. This will happen when $\frac{363x-x^3}{1331-33x^2}=x$, which simplifies to $121x-4x^3=0$. Therefore, $x=\frac{11}{2}$. By the Pythagorean Theorem, $AB=\frac{11\sqrt{5}}{2}$, so the perimeter is $11+11\sqrt{5}=11+\sqrt{605}$, giving us our answer, $\boxed{616}$.

Solution 3

Let $\angle BAD=\alpha$, so $\angle BDM=3\alpha$, $\angle BDA=180-3\alpha$, and thus $\angle ABD=2\alpha.$ We can then draw the angle bisector of $\angle ABD$, and let it intersect $\overline{AM}$ at $E.$ Since $\angle BAE=\angle ABE$, $AE=BE.$ Let $AE=x$. Then we see by the Pythagorean Theorem, $BM=\sqrt{BE^2-ME^2}=\sqrt{x^2-(11-x)^2}=\sqrt{22x-121}$, $BD=\sqrt{BM^2+1}=\sqrt{22x-120}$, $BA=\sqrt{BM^2+121}=\sqrt{22x}$, and $DE=10-x.$ By the angle bisector theorem, $BA/BD=EA/ED.$ Substituting in what we know for the lengths of those segments, we see that

$$\frac{\sqrt{22x}}{\sqrt{22x-120}}=\frac{x}{10-x}.$$ multiplying by both denominators and squaring both sides yields

$$22x(10-x)^2=x^2(22x-120)$$ which simplifies to $x=\frac{55}{8}.$ Substituting this in for x in the equations for $BA$ and $BM$ yields $BA=\frac{\sqrt{605}}{2}$ and $BM=\frac{11}{2}.$ Thus the perimeter is $11+\sqrt{605}$, and the answer is $\boxed{616}$.

Solution 4

The triangle is symmetrical so we can split it in half ($\triangle ABM$ and $\triangle ACM$).

Let $\angle BAM = y$ and $\angle BDM = 3y$. By the Law of Sines on triangle $BAD$, $\frac{10}{\sin 2y} = \frac{BD}{\sin y}$. Using $\sin 2y = 2\sin y\cos y$ we can get $BD = \frac{5}{\cos y}$. We can use this information to relate $BD$ to $DM$ by using the Law of Sines on triangle $BMD$.

$$\frac{\frac{5}{\cos y}}{\sin BMD} = \frac{1}{\sin 90^\circ - 3y}$$ $\sin BMD = 1$ (as $\angle BMD$ is a right angle), so $\frac{1}{\sin 90^\circ - 3y} = \frac{5}{\cos y}$. Using the identity $\sin 90^\circ - x = \cos x$, we can turn the equation into::

$$\frac{1}{\cos 3y} = \frac{5}{\cos y}$$ $$5\cos 3y = \cos y$$ $$5(4\cos ^3 y - 3\cos y) = \cos y$$ $$20\cos ^3 y = 16 \cos y$$ $$5\cos ^3 y = 4\cos y$$ $$5\cos ^2 y = 4$$ $$\cos ^2 y = \frac{4}{5}$$ Now that we've found $\cos y$, we can look at the side lengths of $BM$ and $AB$ (since they are symmetrical, the perimeter of $\triangle ABC$ is $2(BM + AB)$.

We note that $BM = 11\tan y$ and $AB = 11\sec y$.

$$\sin ^2 y = 1 - \cos ^2 y$$ $$\sin ^2 y = \frac{1}{5}$$ $$\tan ^2 y = \frac{1}{4}$$ $$\tan y = \frac{1}{2}$$ (Note it is positive since $BM > 0$).

$$\sec ^2 y = \frac{5}{4}$$ $$\sec y = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$$ $$BM + AB = 11\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{2}$$ $$2(BM + AB) = 11(\sqrt{5} + 1)$$ $$2(BM + AB) = 11\sqrt{5} + 11$$ $$2(BM + AB) = \sqrt{605} + 11$$ The answer is $\boxed{616}$.

Solution 5

Suppose $\angle BAM=\angle CAM =x$, since $\angle BDC=3\angle BAC$, we have $\angle BDM=\angle MDC = 3x$. Therefore, $\angle DBC=\angle DCB = 90^\circ -3x$ and $\angle ABD=\angle DCA=2x$. As a result, $\triangle KAC$ is isosceles, $KC=KA$.

Let $H$ be a point on the extension of $CD$ through $D$ such that $\overline{HB}\perp\overline{BC}$ and denote the intersection of $\overline{HC}$ and $\overline{AB}$ as $K$. Then, $BH=2DM=2, \overline{HB}\parallel\overline{DM}$, and $HD=DC$ by the Midpoint Theorem. So, $\angle HBA=x$ and $\angle CDM=\angle CHB=\angle HDA= 3x$.

Consequently, $\triangle HBK\sim \triangle DAK$,

$$\frac{BK}{KA}=\frac{HK}{KD}=\frac{1}{5}$$ Assume $BK=a$ and $HK=b$, then $KA=5a$ and $KD = 5b$. Since $KC=KA, KC=5a$, and since $HD=DC$, $KC=11b$. Therefore, $a=\frac{11}{5}b$.

In $\triangle BDM$, by the Pythagorean Theorem, $BM=\sqrt{36b^2-1}$. Similarly in $\triangle BAM$, $BM=\sqrt{36a^2-121}$. So

$$\sqrt{36a^2-121}=\sqrt{36b^2-1}$$ Since $a=\frac{11}{5}b$, we have $b=\frac{5\sqrt{5}}{12}$ and $a=\frac{11\sqrt{5}}{12}$. Consequently, $BM=\frac{11}{2}$ and $AB=\frac{11\sqrt{5}}{2}$. Thus, the perimeter of $\triangle ABC$ is $11+\sqrt{605}$, and the answer is $\boxed{616}$.
