Integer triangle rational formula_14 where formula_15 reduces the generated Heronian triangle to its primitive and formula_16 scales up this primitive to the required size. A Pythagorean triangle is right angled and Heronian. Its three integer sides are known as a Pythagorean triple or Pythagorean triplet or Pythagorean triad. All Pythagorean triples formula_17 with hypotenuse formula_18 which are primitive (the sides having no common factor) can be generated by where "m" and "n" are coprime integers and one of them is even with "m" > "n". Every even number greater than 2 can be the leg of a Pythagorean triangle (not necessarily primitive)
Acute and obtuse triangles according to This implies that the longest side in an obtuse triangle is the one opposite the obtuse-angled vertex. An acute triangle has three inscribed squares, each with one side coinciding with part of a side of the triangle and with the square's other two vertices on the remaining two sides of the triangle. (In a right triangle two of these are merged into the same square, so there are only two distinct inscribed squares.) However, an obtuse triangle has only one inscribed square, one of whose sides coincides with part of the longest side of the triangle. All triangles
