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
Kepler triangle if and only if that triangle is a Kepler triangle. A Kepler triangle can be constructed with only straightedge and compass by first creating a golden rectangle: Kepler constructed it differently. In a letter to his former professor Michael Mästlin, he wrote, "If on a line which is divided in extreme and mean ratio one constructs a right angled triangle, such that the right angle is on the perpendicular put at the section point, then the smaller leg will equal the larger segment of the divided line." In the Kepler triangle with sides formula_8 consider: Then the perimeters of the
