Abstract

Using the theory of elliptic curve, we show that all right triangles, such that the sum of the area and the square of the sum of legs is a square, are given by an infinite set. Similarly, we get all right triangles such that the sum of the area and the square of the semi-perimeter is a square. Using the theory of Pell’s equation, we prove that there are infinitely many non-primitive right triangles such that the sum of the area and the hypotenuse (or the smaller leg) is a square, and an infinity of primitive right triangles such that the sum of the area and the smaller leg (or the perimeter, the semi-perimeter, the larger leg) is a square.
