%N Side a of primitive integer-sided triangles (a, b, c) whose angle B = 3*C.

%C The triples (a, b, c) are displayed in increasing order of side b, and if sides b coincide then in increasing order of the side c; hence, this sequence of sides a is not increasing.

%C In the case B = 3*C, the corresponding metric relation between sides is c*a^2= (b-c)^2 * (b+c).

%C Equivalently, length of side common to the two angles, one being the triple of the other, of a primitive integer-sided triangle.

%C For the corresponding primitive triples and miscellaneous properties and references, see A353618.

%F a(n) = A353618(n, 1).

%e According to inequalities between a, b, c, there exist 3 types of such triangles:

%e a < c < b with the smallest side a = 3 of the first triple (3, 10, 8).

%e c < a < b with the middle side a = 35 of the 2nd triple (35, 48, 27).

%e c < b < a with the largest side a = 539 of the 8th triple (539, 510, 216), the first of this type.

%p for q from 2 to floor((b-1)^(1/3)) do

%p a := (b-q^3) * sqrt(1+b/q^3);
