%N a(n) is the number of isosceles integer trapezoids (up to congruence) with integer side lengths a,c,b=d with n=Max(a,b,c) and integer diagonals e=f.

%C By "trapezoid" here is meant a quadrilateral with exactly one pair of parallel sides.

%C Without loss of generality we assume b=d and for the parallel sides c < a. e and f are uniquely determined by e = f = sqrt((c(a^2-b^2) + a(b^2-c^2))/(a-c)). The smallest possible isosceles trapezoid has side lengths a=4, c=3, b=d=2 and diagonals e=f=4.

%e a(7)=2 because there are two possible trapezoids: a=5, c=3, b=d=7, e=f=8 and a=7, c=4, b=d=6, e=f=8.

%t For[d=Floor[(a-c)/2]+1,d<=n,d++,

%t For[b=1,b<=n,b++,

%t se=c(a^2-b^2)+a(d^2-c^2);sf=c(a^2-d^2)+a(b^2-c^2);

%t If[se<=0||sf>se,Break[]];If[sf<=0,Continue[]];

%t e=Sqrt[se/(a-c)];f=Sqrt[sf/(a-c)];

%t If[IntegerQ[e]&&IntegerQ[f]&&a+d>f&&d+f>a&&f+a>d&&e+b>a&&b+a>e&&a+e>b,AppendTo[list,{a,b,c,d,e,f}]]]]]]

%t Table[Select[list,Max[#[[1]],#[[2]],#[[3]],#[[4]]]==n&&#[[2]]==#[[4]]&]//Length,{n,1,65}]
