Commensurable Triangles
Parris, Richard
College Mathematics Journal, v38 n5 p345-355 Nov 2007
Everyone knows what makes a 3-4-5 triangle special, but how many know what makes a 4-5-6 triangle special? It is an integer-sided triangle in which one angle is twice another. It is enjoyable to search for these things, but for those who are impatient, this article derives explicit polynomial formulas that generate all of the basic examples of triangles with integer sides and one angle a rational multiple of another.
