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
Incircle and excircles of a triangle has area formula_39. Similarly, formula_40 has area formula_41 and formula_42 has area formula_43. Since these three triangles decompose formula_35, we see that the area formula_45 is: where formula_48 is the area of formula_35 and formula_50 is its semiperimeter. For an alternative formula, consider formula_51. This is a right-angled triangle with one side equal to "r" and the other side equal to formula_52. The same is true for formula_53. The large triangle is composed of 6 such triangles and the total area is: The Gergonne triangle (of "ABC") is defined by the 3 touchpoints of the incircle on the 3 sides.
