A343891 List of primitive triples (a, b, c) for integer-sided triangles where side a is the harmonic mean of the 2 other sides b and c, i.e., 2/a = 1/b + 1/c with b < a < c. 7

%N List of primitive triples (a, b, c) for integer-sided triangles where side a is the harmonic mean of the 2 other sides b and c, i.e., 2/a = 1/b + 1/c with b < a < c.

%C The triples (a, b, c) are displayed in increasing order of side a, and if sides a coincide then in increasing order of the side b.

%C When sides satisfy 2/a = 1/b + 1/c, or a = 2*b*c/(b+c) then a is always the middle side with b < a < c.

%C Equivalent relations: the heights and sines satisfy 2*h_a = h_b + h_c and 2/sin(A) = 1/sin(B) + 1/sin(C).

%C Inequalities between sides: a/2 < b < a < c < b*(1+sqrt(2)).
