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
Integer triangle inequality. An important characteristic of the automedian triangle is that the squares of its sides form an arithmetic progression. Specifically, formula_91 so formula_92. A triangle family with integer sides formula_93 and with rational bisector formula_94 of angle A is given by with integers formula_99. There exist infinitely many non-similar triangles in which the three sides and the bisectors of each of the three angles are integers. There exist infinitely many non-similar triangles in which the three sides and the two trisectors of each of the three angles are integers. However, for "n" > 3 there exist no triangles in which
