Integer triangle we today use the term Heronian triangle; Somos uses it to refer to triangles whose ratios of sides are rational; Conway and Guy define a rational triangle as one with rational sides and rational angles measured in degrees—in which case the only rational triangle is the rational-sided equilateral triangle. There are various general properties for an integer triangle, given in the first section below. All other sections refer to classes of integer triangles with specific properties. Any triple of positive integers can serve as the side lengths of an integer triangle as long as it satisfies the triangle inequality: the
Schwarz triangle function Δ has angles /"a", /"b" and /"c" with "a", "b", "c" integers greater than 1. The hyperbolic area of Δ equals – /"a" – /"b" – /"c", so that The construction of a tessellation will first be carried out for the case when "a", "b" and "c" are greater than 2. The original triangle Δ gives a convex polygon "P" with 3 vertices. At each of the three vertices the triangle can be successively reflected through edges emanating from the vertices to produce 2"m" copies of the triangle where the angle at the vertex is /"m". The triangles do not
