A336885
Irregular triangle read by rows: row n gives the sequence of pairs ((x(n)_j, y(n)_j))_{j=1..A336886(n)}, for all non-Pythagorean triples (X(n)_j = sqrt(x(n)_j), Y(n)_j = sqrt(y(n)_j), Z(n) = sqrt(z(n))), with integers 1 <= x(n)_j <= y(n)_j <= z(n) = A334818(n), which correspond to non-right triangles with positive integer area A(n)_j with leg pairs (X(n)_j, Y(n)_j) and base Z(n), for j = 1, 2, ..., A336886(n). The order of the pairs in row n is by nondecreasing y(n)_j.

COMMENTS
This entry, A336886 and A336887 are inspired by A334818.
The length of row n is 2*A336886(n).
The positive integer areas are A(n)_j = (1/4)*sqrt(2*(z(n)*y(n)_j + z(n)*x(n)_j + y(n)_j*x(n)_j) - ((x(n)_j)^2 + (y(n)_j)^2 + z(n)^2)), for j = 1, 2, ..., A336886(n). The corresponding irregular triangle of these areas is given in A336887. (Degenerate triangles are not considered, hence X(n)_j + Y(n)_j > Z(n).)
The triples (x(n)_j, y(n)_j, z(n)) may be non-primitive.
The positive or negative defect to Pythagorean triples is deltaPT(n)_j := (X(n)_j)^2 + (Y(n)_j)^2 - Z(n)^2 > -2*X(n)_j*Y(n)_j, for j = 1, 2, ..., A336886(n).
FORMULA
T(n, 2*j-1) = x(n)_j, and T(n, 2*j) = y(n)_j, for j = 1, 2, ..., A336886(n).
EXAMPLE
The irregular triangle T(n, k) with pairs (x(n)_j, y(n)_j), j= 1, 2, ..., A336886(n), begins:
n, z(n) \ k 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 18 20 ...

...
T(4, 1) = 2 and T(4, 2) = 4 because for n = 4, z(4) = 10, k = 1: (X(10)_1 = sqrt(2), Y(10)_1 = sqrt(4)) and Z(n) = sqrt(10). This is not a Pythagorean triangle because 2 + 4 is not 10, and the area is integer: A(4, 1) = A336887(4, 1) = 1 because A(4, 1) = (1/4)*sqrt(2*(10*4 + 10*2 + 4*2) - (2^2 + 4^2 + 10^2)) = 1.
