Let BAC = Ф
then AcB = 2 Ф
Now ABC,
ABC + BCA + ACB = 180
90 + Ф + 2 = 180
Ф = 30
ACB = 2 ( 30 ) = 60
Side opposite to the smallest angle is smallest
Hence BC is smallest
Now
Cos 2Ф = BC / Ac , Cos 60 = BC / AC , 1 / 2 = BC / AC , AC = 2BC
then AcB = 2 Ф
Now ABC,
ABC + BCA + ACB = 180
90 + Ф + 2 = 180
Ф = 30
ACB = 2 ( 30 ) = 60
Side opposite to the smallest angle is smallest
Hence BC is smallest
Now
Cos 2Ф = BC / Ac , Cos 60 = BC / AC , 1 / 2 = BC / AC , AC = 2BC

Consider a ∆ABC in which ∠B is a right angle and ∠C is double of ∠A
To Prove: AC = 2BC
Construction: produce CB upto D such that BC = BD & join AD
Proof:
In ∆ ABD & ∆ ABC
BD= BC. (By construction)
∠ABD = ∠ABC ( 90°)
AB = AB (Common)
∆ABD ∆ABC. ( BY SAS)
AD= AC. (CPCT)........(1)
∠DAB = ∠CAB = P ( Let) (By CPCT).......(2)
∠DAC = ∠DAB + ∠CAB
∠DAC= P + P = 2P. ( From eq 2)
∠DAC = ∠ACB ( ∠ACB= 2P)
DC = AD
(Since, sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal)
2BC = AD= AC ( BC= DB from eq 1)
Hence, AC= 2BC
