COMMENTS
If medians at A and B are perpendicular at the centroid G, then a^2 + b^2 = 5 * c^2 (see picture in Maths Challenge link), hence c is always the smallest side.
For the corresponding primitive triples and miscellaneous properties, see A335034; such a triangle with sides of integer lengths cannot be isosceles.
The largest side b with c < a < b is not divisible by 3, 4, or 5, and the odd prime factors of this largest side term b are all of the form 10*k +- 1.
In each increasing triple (c,a,b), c is the smallest odd side (A335036), but the largest side b can be either the even side (A335273) or the largest odd side (see formulas and examples for explanations).
This sequence is not increasing: a(12) = 211 for triangle with perimeter = 442 and a(13) = 209 for triangle with perimeter = 464; hence the largest side is not an increasing function of the perimeter of these triangles.

FORMULA
a(n) = A335034(3n).
a(n) = A335035(n) - A335036(n) - A335347(n).
There exist two disjoint classes of such triangles, obtained with two distinct families of formulas: let u > v > 0 , u and v with different parities, gcd(u,v) = 1; a' is the even side and b' the largest odd side.
--> 1st class of triangles: (a',b',c) = (2*(u^2-uv-v^2), u^2+4*u*v-v^2, u^2+v^2) with u/v > 3 and 5 doesn't divide u-3v.
If 3 < u/v < 3+sqrt(10) then a' (even) < b' and the triple in increasing order is (c, a = a', b = b'),
if u/v > 3+sqrt(10) then a' (even) > b' and the triple in increasing order is (c, a = b', b = a').
--> 2nd class of triangles: (a',b',c) = (2*(u^2+uv-v^2), -u^2+4*u*v+v^2, u^2+v^2) with 1 < u/v < 2 and 5 doesn't divide u-2v.
If 1 < u/v < (1+sqrt(10))/3 then a' (even) < b' and the triple in increasing order is (c, a = a', b = b'),
If (1+sqrt(10))/3 < u/v < 2 then a' (even) > b' and the triple in increasing order is (c, a = b', b = a').
EXAMPLE
-> For 1st class of triangles, u/v > 3:
(u,v) = (4,1), then 3 < u/v < 3+sqrt(10) and (c,a,b) = (c, a',b') = (17,22,31); the relation is 22^2 + 31^2 = 5 * 17^2 = 1445 with a(2) = 31 = b = b'
(u,v) = (10,1), then u/v > 3+sqrt(10) and (c,a,b) = (c, b' ,a') = (101, 139, 178), the relation is 139^2 + 178^2 = 5 * 101^2 = 51005 with a(11) = 178 = b = a'.
-> For 2nd class, 1 < u/v < 2:
(u,v) = (3,2), then (1+sqrt(10))/3 < u/v < 2 and (c,a,b) = (c, b', a') = (13,19,22), the relation is 19^2 + 22^2 = 5 * 13^2 = 845 with a(1) = 22 = b = a'.
(u,v) = (4,3), then 1 < u/v < (1+sqrt(10))/3 and (c,a,b) = (c, a', b') = (25,38,41); the relation is 38^2 + 41^2 = 5 * 25^2 = 3125 with a(3) = 41 = b = b'.
