%N A102341 Areas of 'close-to-equilateral' integer triangles.
%C A102341 A close-to-equilateral integer triangle is defined to be a triangle with
integer sides and integer area such that the largest and smallest
sides differ in length by unity. The first five close-to-equilateral
integer triangles have sides (5, 5, 6), (17, 17, 16), (65, 65, 66),
(241, 241, 240) and (901, 901, 902).
%C A102341 Next four terms are: {three sides a<b<c and area} { 46816, 46817, 46817,
949077360}, { 174725, 174725, 174726, 13219419708}, { 652080, 652081,
652081, 184120982760}, {2433601, 2433601, 2433602, 2564481115560}.
Also, the first case {1,1,2,0} - integer triangle with zero area,
fully appropriate to definition of 'close-to-equilateral' one, should
be added. We have 12 cases and a weak conjecture is that the total
number of the 'close-to-equilateral' triangles is finite. - Zak Seidov

%C A102341 This is an infinite series; two sides are equal in length to the hypotenuse
of almost 30-60 triangles and the third side alternates between that
length +/- 1. - Dan Sanders (dan(AT)ified.ca), Oct 22 2005

%e A102341 a(2) = 120 because 120 is the area of a triangle with side lengths of
16, 17 and 17.
