The Crystal Palace pane of glass (49 inches) as the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle, thereby creating a triangle with a length-to-height ratio of 2.5:1, whose base (adjacent side) was 4 feet long. By mirroring this triangle he obtained the 8-foot-wide gables that formed the vertical faces at either end of the prism, each of which was 24' long. With this arrangement, Paxton could glaze the entire roof surface with identical panes that did not need to be trimmed. Paxton placed three of these 8' x 24' roof units side-by-side, horizontally supported by a grid of cast iron beams, which was held up
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
