COMMENTS
The sequences A208984 and A185210 are subsequences of this sequence. The corresponding inradius r are 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 3, 4, 3, ...
The area A of a triangle whose sides have lengths a, b, and c is given by Heron's formula: A = sqrt(s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)), where s = (a+b+c)/2. The inradius r is given by r = A/s.
a(n) is divisible by 6 and the squares of the form 36k^2 are in the sequence.

EXAMPLE
24 is in the sequence because for (a, b, c) = (6, 8, 10) => s =(6 + 8 + 10)/2 = 12; A = sqrt(12*(12-6)*(12-8)*(12-10)) = sqrt(576)= 24; r = A/s = 2.
