Right triangle altitude to the hypotenuse is related to the legs of the right triangle by For solutions of this equation in integer values of "a, b, f", and "c", see here. The altitude from either leg coincides with the other leg. Since these intersect at the right-angled vertex, the right triangle's orthocenter—the intersection of its three altitudes—coincides with the right-angled vertex. The Pythagorean theorem states that: In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the
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
