Given any positive integer $n$, it is well-known that there always exists a triangle with rational sides $a,b$ and $c$ such that the area of the triangle is $n$. For a given prime $p \not \equiv 1$ modulo $8$ such that $p^{2}+1=2q$ for a…
A Heron triangle is a triangle whose side lengths and area are all positive integers. If the greatest common divisor of the three side lengths is $1$, it is called a primitive Heron triangle. In this paper, we give an equivalent condition…
A Heron triangle is a triangle whose side lengths and area are integers. Two Heron triangles are amicable if the perimeter of one is the area of the other. We show, using elementary techniques, that there is only one pair of amicable Heron…
Triangles with integer length sides and integer area are known as Heron triangles. Taking rescaling freedom into account, one can apply the same name when all sides and the area are rational numbers. A perfect triangle is a Heron triangle…
A Heron triangle is one that has all integer side lengths and integer area, which takes its name from Heron of Alexandria's area formula. From a more relaxed point of view, if rescaling is allowed, then one can define a Heron triangle to be…
A Heron quadrilateral is a cyclic quadrilateral whose area and side lengths are rational. In this work, we establish a correspondence between Heron quadrilaterals and a family of elliptic curves of the form $y^2 = x3+/alpha x^2-n^2x.$ This…
Heron's formula states that the area $K$ of a triangle with sides $a$, $b$, and $c$ is given by $$ K=\sqrt {s(s-a) (s-b) (s-c)} $$ where $s$ is the semiperimeter $(a+b+c)/2$. Brahmagupta, Robbins, Roskies, and Maley generalized this formula…
The relevance of this paper lies in the fact that it resolves two previously unsolved open problems. In the first part of the paper, a new lemma is proved, from which it follows that if there exists a triangle with integer sides and…
A primitive Heron triangle is a triangle with integral sides and integral area where the greatest common divisor of the lengths of its sides is $1$. By utilizing the theory of elliptic curves, we prove that there exist infinitely many…
This article highlights interactions of diverse areas: the Heron formula for the area of a triangle, the Descartes circle equation, and right triangles with integer or rational sides. New and old results are synthesized. We show that every…
Each triangle has three exterior or external circles tangential to the three straight lines containing the three sides of the triangle.Among the preliminaries in this paper, is deriving formulas for the radii of the three exterior circles…
Let (a,b,c)be a Pythagorean triple with c being the hypotenuse length, and h being the altitude to the hypotenuse. Also, let v,k,l be positive integers with k and l being relatively prime.We say(Definition1 in this work)that the Pythagorean…
Heron angle: both its sine and cosine are rational Heron triangle: all its sides and area are rational Heron Parallelogram: all its sides, diagonals and area are rational We give one-to-one (bijective) parametrizations for all three…
Let ABC be a triangle with a,b,and c being its three sidelengths. In a 1976 article by Wynne William Wilson in the Mathematical Gazette(see reference[2]), the author showed that angleB is twice angleA, if and only if b^2=a(a+c). We offer…
A Heronian triangle is a triangle that has integer side lengths and integer area. Praton and Shalqini [1] define amicable Heronian triangles to be two Heronian triangles where the area of one equals the perimeter of the other, and vice…
We define hyperbolic Heron triangles (hyperbolic triangles with "rational" side-lengths and area) and parametrize them in two ways as rational points of certain elliptic curves. We show that there are infinitely many hyperbolic Heron…
Even though four theorems are actually proved in this paper, two are the main ones,Teorems 1 and 3. In Theorem 1 we show that if a and be are odd squarefree positive integers satisfying certain quadratic residue conditions; then there…
In this paper we show that for every positive integer $n$ there exists a prime number in the interval $[n,9(n+3)/8]$. Based on this result, we prove that if $a$ is an integer greater than 1, then for every integer $n>14.4a$ there are at…
We indicate that Heron's formula (which relates the square of the area of a triangle to a quartic function of its edge lengths) can be interpreted as a scissors congruence in 4-dimensional space. In the process of demonstrating this, we…
Let $\Bbb Z$ be the set of integers. For positive integers $a,b,c$ and $n$ let $N(a,b,c;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by $ax^2+by^2+cz^2$, and let $t(a,b,c;n)$ be the number of representations of $n$ by…
