%N Integer part of length of median to hypotenuse of primitive Pythagorean triangles sorted on hypotenuse.

%C The median to hypotenuse is equal to the circumradius.

%C The length of the median is sqrt((a^2)/2 + (b^2)/2 - (c^2)/4) where a,b,c are sides of the triangle. In case of Pythagorean triangles, m=h/2 were h is the hypotenuse.

%F a(n) = floor(A020882(n)/2).

%e a(1)=2 as it is the integer portion of the length of the median to hypotenuse of triangle having sides 3,4,5.

%e Similarly, a(5)=14 as it is the integer portion of the length of the median to hypotenuse of triangle having sides 20,21,29.

%Y Cf. A020882.
