FORMULA
Area A of a triangle with sides a, b, c:
A(a, b, c) = sqrt(s*(s - a)*(s - b)*(s - c)) with s = (a + b + c)/2.
EXAMPLE
The sorted list of areas A_k = A(A331251(k), A331252(k), A331253(k)), rounded to 10^-4, starts:: {0.43301, 0.96825, 1.4790, 1.7321, 1.9843, 1.9843, 2.4875, 2.8284, 2.9047, 2.9896, 3.4911, 3.7997, 3.8730, 3.8971, 3.9922, 4.1458, 4.4721, 4.4931, 4.6837, 4.8990, 4.9937, 5.3327, ...}.
a(1) = 2: 2 triangles (A = 0.43301, 0.96825) with A <= 1,
a(2) = 6: a(1) + 4 triangles (A = 1.4790, 1.7321, 1.9843, 1.9843) with 1 < A <= 2,
a(3) = 10: a(2) + 4 triangles (A = 2.4875, 2.8284, 2.9047, 2.9896) with 2 < A <= 3,
a(4) = 15: a(3) + 5 triangles (A = 3.4911, 3.7997, 3.8730, 3.8971, 3.9922) with 3 < A <= 4,
a(5) = 21: a(4) + 6 triangles (A = 4.1458, 4.4721, 4.4931, 4.6837, 4.8990, 4.9937) with 4 < A <= 5.
