COMMENTS

For a primitive Pythagorean triangle with sides X, Y & Z, we have two generating numbers m&n such that m>n, gcd(m,n) = 1 and the parity of m&n are opposite. X = m^2 - n^2, Y = 2mn and Z = m^2 + n^2, s = m^2 + mn and finally r = n(m-n).

Moreover, a primitive Pythagorean triangle has area n*a(n).

FORMULA

When n is i)an odd prime power, s = (n + 1)(n + 2). ii)a power of 2, s = (n + 1)(2n + 1). iii)a composite with relatively prime factors a*b such that a is smallest, s = (a + b)(2a + b).

MATHEMATICA

a = Table[10^9, {75} ]; Do[ If[ GCD[m, n] == 1 && Sort[ Mod[ {m, n}, 2]] == {0, 1}, s = m^2 + m*n; r = n(m - n); If[r < 76 && a[[r]] > s, a[[r]] = s; Print[r, " ", s]]], {m, 2, 10^2}, {n, 1, m - 1} ]
