Abstract
A classical result of Honsberger states that the number of incongruent triangles with integer sides and perimeter is the nearest integer to ( even) or ( odd). We solve the analogous problem for -gons (for arbitrary but fixed ), and for polygons (with arbitrary number of sides). We also show that the solution to the latter is asymptotic to , and the former (for fixed ) to .
