%N Areas of indecomposable primitive integer Heronian triangles (including primitive Pythagorean triangles), in increasing order.

%C An indecomposable Heronian triangle is a Heronian triangle that cannot be split into two Pythagorean triangles. In other words, it has no integer altitude that is not a side of the triangle. Note that all primitive Pythagorean triangles are indecomposable.

%C See comments in A227003 about the Mathematica program below to ensure that all primitive Heronian areas up to 1008 are captured.

%H Paul Yiu, <a href="http://math.fau.edu/yiu/Southern080216.pdf">Heron triangles which cannot be decomposed into two integer right triangles</a>, 2008.

%e a(5) = 84 as this is the fifth ordered area of an indecomposable primitive Heronian triangle. The triple is (7,24,25) and it is Pythagorean.
