COMMENTS
The inradius is given by r=1/2 (a+b-c)=ab/(a+b+c)=area/semiperimeter, and the inradii ordered by increasing r are in A020888.

FORMULA
A156689(n)=1/2 (A020884(n)+A156678(n)-A156679(n))
EXAMPLE
The eighth primitive Pythagorean triple ordered by increasing a is (13,84,85). As this has inradius 1/2 (13+84-85)=6, we have a(8)=6.
