Prime Pythagorean triangles
A prime Pythagorean triangle has three integer sides of which the hypotenuse and one leg are primes. In this article we investigate their properties and distribution. We are also interested in finding chains of such triangles, where the hypotenuse of one triangle is the leg of the next in the sequence. We exhibit a chain of seven prime Pythagorean triangles and we include a brief discussion of ...
متن کاملA Non-Pythagorean Musical Scale Based on Logarithms
A new musical scale devised by the author, based on natural logarithms, is described. Most of the logarithmic pitches bear no correspondence to the twelve tones of the ancient tuning system attributed to Pythagoras, based on ratios of whole numbers, nor to the chromatic tones of scales in equal temperament used widely in the modern era. Logarithms obey a special arithmetic compared to whole and...
متن کاملJa n 20 07 Heron ’ s Formula , Descartes Circles , and Pythagorean Triangles
This article highlights interactions of diverse areas: the Heron formula for the area of a triangle, the Descartes circle equation, and right triangles with integer or rational sides. New and old results are synthesized. We first exploit elementary observations about circles to characterize an arbitrary triangle using three circles. A fourth circle brings a certain symmetry – the four radii are...
متن کاملPythagorean-Platonic Lattice Method for Finding all Co-Prime Right Angle Triangles
This paper presents a method for determining all of the co-prime right angle triangles in the Euclidean field by looking at the intersection of the Pythagorean and Platonic right angle triangles and the corresponding lattice that this produces. The co-prime properties of each lattice point representing a unique right angle triangle are then considered. This paper proposes a conjunction between ...
متن کاملA ug 2 00 9 Pythagorean Triangles with Repeated Digits – Different Bases
In 1998, in the winter issue of Mathematics and Computer Education ([1]) Monte Zerger posed the following problem. He had noticed or discovered the Pythagorean triple (216, 630, 666); (216) + (630) = (666). Note that 216 = 6 and 666 is the hypotenuse length of this Pythagorean triangle. The question was, then whether there existed a digit d (in the decimal system) and a positive integer k (othe...
