| Title of Talk | The Area of Rational Right Triangles |
| Abstract | A right triangle is called rational when all of its three sides are all rational numbers. Any rational right triangle has a rational area, but not all positive rational numbers can be the area of a rational right triangle. For example, the area of a right triangle with sides 3-4-5 is 6. Is it possible that there exists a rational right triangle with area 5? More information related to this problem will be given in this talk. |
