A352314 Primitive triples (a, b, c) of integer-sided triangles such that the distance d = OI between the circumcenter O and the incenter I is also a positive integer. The triples of sides (a, b, c) are in increasing order a <= b <= c. 2

%N Primitive triples (a, b, c) of integer-sided triangles such that the distance d = OI between the circumcenter O and the incenter I is also a positive integer. The triples of sides (a, b, c) are in increasing order a <= b <= c.

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

%C Primitive triples means here that gcd(a, b, c, d) = 1 (see first example).

%C Equilateral triangles are not present because in this case O = I and d = 0.

%C Euler's triangle formula says that distance between the circumcenter O and the incenter I of a triangle is given by d = OI = sqrt(R*(R-2r)).

%C Heron's formula says the area A of a triangle whose sides have lengths a, b and c is given by A = sqrt(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)), where s = (a+b+c)/2; then, the circumradius is given by R = abc/4A and the inradius r is given by r = A/s.

%C With these relations, d = OI = abc * sqrt(1/(16*A^2) - 1/(abc*(a+b+c))).

%C ................................................................................

%C Observations coming from the previous table:

%C There exist two families of triangles,

%C 1) triangle ABC is isosceles with a = b < c or a < b = c.

%C In this case, r and R are rational integers with same denominator = 1 or 3, and the area A of this triangle is a term of A231174.

%C Note that besides, if d is prime, d divides the two equal sides of the isosceles triangle, and also, there are these two possibilities:

%C -> d^2 = R and then r = (R-1)/2, or

%C -> d^2 = 3R and then r = (R-3)/2.

%C 2) triangle ABC is scalene with a < b < c.

%C In this case, r and R are both quadratic of the form k*sqrt(3)/3.

%e 40, 40, 48;

%e 16, 49, 55;

%e 130, 130, 240;

%e 231, 361, 416;

%e .........

%e For first triple (10, 10, 16), s = (10+10+16)/2 = 18, A = 48, r = 48/18 = 8/3, R = 10*10*16/4*48 = 25/3, and d = sqrt(25/3 * 9/3) = 5. We observe that gcd(10, 10, 16) = 2, but that gcd(10, 10, 16, 5) = 1, in fact for triple (5, 5, 8) with gcd(5, 5, 8) = 1, OI should be 5/2.
