prev=0;
for common=1:5000
  for sr=1:500
    sq=sr^2;
    for cr=1:400
      cu=cr^3;
      sides=[common,sq,cu];
      if 2*max(sides)<sum(sides)
        s=sum(sides)/2;
        A=sqrt(-s*(common-s)*(sq-s)*(cu-s));
        if A==round(A)
          fprintf('%10d',sides,A)
          fprintf('\n')
          if common==prev 
            disp('----------------')
          end
          prev=common;
        end
      end

  end
end

finds among its results

     common    square     cube    area
      3468      3721      2197   3734640
      3468      7225      4913   7516890
      
where 3721 is 61^2, 2197 is 13^3, 7225 is 85^2, and 4913 is 17^3.
