integer sides and inradius | Comment 4 of 5 |
Area A and perimeter p have the same numerical value if and only if the inradius r is 2, since A=pr/2.  The question arises then as to how many triangles have integer sides and a given integer inradius r=1,2,....  This turns out to be a known sequence -- See OEIS id:A120062 where the first few terms are 1,5,13,18,15,....
