Project Euler Problem 75: https://projecteuler.net/problem=75
|
||
|
|
||
|
It turns out that 12 cm is the smallest length of wire that can be bent to form an
|
||
|
integer sided right angle triangle in exactly one way, but there are many more examples.
|
||
|
|
||
|
12 cm: (3,4,5)
|
||
|
24 cm: (6,8,10)
|
||
|
30 cm: (5,12,13)
|
||
|
36 cm: (9,12,15)
|
||
|
40 cm: (8,15,17)
|
||
|
48 cm: (12,16,20)
|
||
|
|
||
|
In contrast, some lengths of wire, like 20 cm, cannot be bent to form an integer sided
|
||
|
right angle triangle, and other lengths allow more than one solution to be found; for
|
||
|
example, using 120 cm it is possible to form exactly three different integer sided
|
||
|
right angle triangles.
|
||
|
|
||
|
120 cm: (30,40,50), (20,48,52), (24,45,51)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Given that L is the length of the wire, for how many values of L ≤ 1,500,000 can
|
||
|
exactly one integer sided right angle triangle be formed?
|
||
|
|
||
|
Solution: we generate all pythagorean triples using Euclid's formula and
|
||
|
keep track of the frequencies of the perimeters.
