Triangles with no area (Posted on 2009-12-30) Difficulty: 1 of 5
A little disconcertingly I generated the data of a triangle with integral sides in a spreadsheet. The area calculation suggested that it had zero area.

Knowing there was an obvious contradiction I wrote a computer listing to see if there were others which fitted this situation, and yes, there was an infinite number.

Clearly I am doing something wrong, explain.
