COMMENTS
Every such prime p has a unique representation as p = r^2 + s^2 with 1 <= r < s. The corresponding right triangle has legs of lengths s^2 - r^2 and 2rs and area rs(s^2 - r^2). For p > 5, this is divisible by 30.
Calling A002330(n) and A002331(n) respectively u and v, we have a(n) = u*v*(u-v)*(u+v), for n > 1. - Lekraj Beedassy, Mar 12 2002
The corresponding Pythagorean triple (A, B, C) with A^2 = B^2 + C^2, (A > B > C) is given by {A002144(n), A002365(n), A002366(n)}, so that a(n) = B*C/(2*30) = A002365(n)*A002366(n)/60. - Lekraj Beedassy, Oct 27 2003
EXAMPLE
The 7th prime of the form 4k+1 is 53 = 2^2 + 7^2. So the right triangle has sides 7^2 - 2^2 = 45, 2*2*7 = 28 and 53. Its area is 1/2 * 45 * 28 = 630, so a(7) = 630/30 = 21.
