Integer triangle rational formula_14 where formula_15 reduces the generated Heronian triangle to its primitive and formula_16 scales up this primitive to the required size. A Pythagorean triangle is right angled and Heronian. Its three integer sides are known as a Pythagorean triple or Pythagorean triplet or Pythagorean triad. All Pythagorean triples formula_17 with hypotenuse formula_18 which are primitive (the sides having no common factor) can be generated by where "m" and "n" are coprime integers and one of them is even with "m" > "n". Every even number greater than 2 can be the leg of a Pythagorean triangle (not necessarily primitive)
Special right triangle its sides be in a geometric progression. The 3–4–5 triangle is the unique right triangle (up to scaling) whose sides are in an arithmetic progression. Let be the side length of a regular decagon inscribed in the unit circle, where "φ" is the golden ratio. Let be the side length of a regular hexagon in the unit circle, and let {2}}</math>}} be the side length of a regular pentagon in the unit circle. Then , so these three lengths form the sides of a right triangle. The same triangle forms half of a golden rectangle. It may also be found
