Integer triangle side of the formula are integers it follows that all integer triangles must have an integer value of "16T" and "T" will be rational. By the law of cosines, every angle of an integer triangle has a rational cosine. If the angles of any triangle form an arithmetic progression then one of its angles must be 60°. For integer triangles the remaining angles must also have rational cosines and a method of generating such triangles is given below. However, apart from the trivial case of an equilateral triangle there are no integer triangles whose angles form either a geometric or
Equilateral triangle terms of side length "a" can be derived directly using the Pythagorean theorem or using trigonometry. The area of a triangle is half of one side "a" times the height "h" from that side: The legs of either right triangle formed by an altitude of the equilateral triangle are half of the base "a", and the hypotenuse is the side "a" of the equilateral triangle. The height of an equilateral triangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem so that Substituting "h" into the area formula (1/2)"ah" gives the area formula for the equilateral triangle: Using trigonometry, the area of
