## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
|
|
If <var>p</var> is the perimeter of a right angle triangle with integral length sides, {a,b,c}, there are exactly three solutions for p = 120.
|
|
|
|
{20,48,52}, {24,45,51}, {30,40,50}
|
|
|
|
For which value of <var>p</var> ≤ `n`, is the number of solutions maximized?
