COMMENTS
Pythagorean primes, i.e., primes of the form p = 4k+1 = A002144(n), have exactly one representation as sum of two squares: A002144(n) = x^2+y^2 = A002330(n+1)^2+A002331(n+1)^2. The corresponding (primitive) integer-sided right triangle with sides { 2xy, |x^2-y^2| } = { A002365(n), A002366(n) } has area xy|x^2-y^2| = a(n). For n>1 this is a(n) = 30*A068386(n).

FORMULA
a(n) = A002365(n)*A002366(n)/2.
a(n) = x*y*(x^2-y^2), where x = A002330(n+1), y = A002331(n+1).
EXAMPLE
The following table shows the relationship between several closely related sequences:
Here p = A002144 = primes == 1 (mod 4), p = a^2+b^2 with a < b;
a = A002331, b = A002330, t_1 = ab/2 = A070151;
p^2 = c^2+d^2 with c < d; c = A002366, d = A002365,
t_2 = 2ab = A145046, t_3 = b^2-a^2 = A070079,
with {c,d} = {t_2, t_3}, t_4 = cd/2 = ab(b^2-a^2).
