%N Smallest integer areas of integer-sided triangles where at least one side is of length prime(n).

%C Conjecture: for all prime p > 2 there exists an integer-sided triangle with integer area where at least one side is of length p.

%C There exist triangles of integer area and integer side lengths having two sides whose lengths are distinct prime numbers; for example, (3,4,5), (11,13,20), (19, 20,37), (43,61,68), (59,68,109), (11,60,61), (79,241, 312), (41,50,89), (26,73,97), ... corresponding to the areas 6, 66, 114, 1290, 1770, 330, 4740, 420, 420, ...

%C Observation: there exist some integer-area, integer-sided triangles with two prime sides such that the perimeter equals 4 times the smaller prime. For example:

%C (3, 4, 5) => 12 = 4*3;

%C (11, 13, 20) => 44 = 4*11;

%C (19, 20, 37) => 76 = 4*19;

%C (43, 61, 68) => 172 = 4*43;

%C (59, 68, 109) => 236 = 4*59;

%C (131, 181, 212) => 524 = 4*131;

%C (139, 157, 260) => 556 = 4*139;

%C (179, 260, 277) => 716 = 4*179.

%C The first 25 values (prime(n), smallest area, a, b, c) are:
