Corresponding areas are: 0, 120, 25080, 4890480, 949077360, 184120982760, ...

Values (x^2 + y^2)/2, where the pair (x, y) satisfies x^2 - 3y^2 = -2, i.e. a(n)={(A001834(n))^2 + (A001835(n))^2}/2 = {(A001834(n))^2 + A046184(n)}/2. - Lekraj Beedassy (blekraj(AT)yahoo.com), Jul 13 2006

The heights of these triangles are given in A028230. (A028230(n), A045899(n), A103772(n)) forms a primitive pythagorean triple.
