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. | ||
