COMMENTS
The square of the third leg is a sum of consecutive cubes (or one cube). See A126200, A217843. In the Pythagorean triple {325,91,312}, 312^2 = 14^3 + 15^3 + ... + 25^3 = 97344.
It is possible for both of the legs to be triangular numbers as well as the hypotenuse. The only known example is 8778^2 + 10296^2 = 13530^2. - Andrew Howroyd, Aug 17 2018
