See the first link and the table 2 page 23 for the results of the exploration of all pentagons with perimeter less than 400.
A Robbins pentagon is a cyclic polygon with 5 integer sides and integer area.
Any Robbins pentagon with five integer sides has integer area (proof in reference).
Theorem (Robbins). Consider a cyclic pentagon with sides a,b,c,d,e and area A. If s1, s2, s3, s4 and s5 are the symmetric polynomials in the squares of the sides, x = 16A^2, t=x-4*s2 + s1^2, u = 8*s3 + s1*t2, v = -64*s4 + t^2 and w = 128*s5, then u (hence the square of the area) satisfies the condition: x*v^3 + u^2 * v^2 - 18*x*u*v*w - 27*x^2*w^2.
