Law of cosines . The power of the point with respect to the circle is equal to both and . Therefore, which is the law of cosines. Using algebraic measures for line segments (allowing negative numbers as lengths of segments) the case of obtuse angle () and acute angle () can be treated simultaneously. By using the law of sines and knowing that the angles of a triangle must sum to 180 degrees, we have the following system of equations (the three unknowns are the angles): Then, by using the third equation of the system, we obtain a system of two equations in
Integer triangle formula_112 and formula_113 generate the same triple. Unfortunately the two pairs can both be of gcd=3, so we can't avoid duplicates by simply skipping that case. Instead, duplicates can be avoided by formula_27 going only till formula_115. Note that we still need to divide by 3 if gcd=3. The only solution for formula_116 under the above constraints is formula_117 for formula_118. With this additional formula_119 constraint all triples can be generated uniquely. An Eisenstein triple is a set of integers which are the lengths of the sides of a triangle where one of the angles is 60 degrees. Integer triangles
