Fermat's right triangle theorem is, by the Pythagorean theorem, they would form two integer-sided right triangles in which the pair formula_10 gives one leg and the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle and the same pair also forms the two legs of the larger triangle. But if (as Fibonacci asserted) no square congruum can exist, then there can be no two integer right triangles that share two sides in this way. Because the congrua are exactly the numbers that are four times the area of a Pythagorean triangle, and multiplication by four does not change whether a number is square, the existence of a square
Integer triangle "c" , "a" + "b" ≤ "c" and "a" ≤ "b" ≤ "c". This is also the number of integer sided obtuse or right (non-acute) triangles with largest side "c". The sequence starting at "c" = 1, is: Consequently, the difference between the two above sequences gives the number of acute integer sided triangles (up to congruence) with given largest side "c". The sequence starting at "c" = 1, is: By Heron's formula, if "T" is the area of a triangle whose sides have lengths "a", "b", and "c" then Since all the terms under the radical on the right
