391.0. "Integer vol of isos tetr" by TOOLS::STAN () Wed Nov 27 1985 22:03
In Crux Mathematicorum 11(1985)163, Richard Guy asks for an
isosceles tetrahedron with integer edges, area of faces an integer,
and integer volume. This is equivalent to solving
2
16A = (a+b+c)(b+c-a)(c+a-b)(a+b-c)
and
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
72V = (b + c - a )(c + a -b )(a + b - c )
in integers. He gives a solution, (a,b,c)=(148,195,203).
The question is: Is there a smaller solution?
