%N Face-diagonal lengths of Euler bricks.

%C Euler bricks are cuboids all of whose edges and face-diagonals are integers.

%C It is not known whether any Euler brick with space-diagonals that are integers exists.

%C 825 is the only integer common to the sets of edge lengths and of face-diagonal lengths <= 1000 for Euler bricks.

%F Integer edges a > b > c such that integer face-diagonals are d(a,b) = sqrt(a^2 + b^2), d(a,c) = sqrt(a^2 + c^2), d(b,c) = sqrt(b^2 + c^2).

%e For n=1, the edges (a,b,c) are (240,117,44) and the face-diagonals (d(a,b),d(a,c),d(b,c)) are (267,244,125).

%e Note the pleasing factorizations of the edge-lengths of this least Euler brick: 240 = 15*4^2; 117 = 13*3^2; 44 = 11*2^2.

%Y cf. A195816, A031173, A031174, A031175. Edge lengths of Euler bricks are A195816.
