A circle is inscribed in a triangle, with three other circles in the corner regions. The radii are integers. Possible values of the largest radius?
Originally posted at MSE.
A circle with integer radius $R$ is inscribed in a triangle. Three other circles with integer radii $a,b,c$ are each tangent to the large circle and two sides of the ...

Squarefree parts of integers of the form $xy(x+2y)(y+2x)$
The motivation for this question comes from Theorem 3.3 of the 1995 paper Tilings of Triangles by M. Laczkovich, which states:
Let $x$ and $y$ be non-zero integers such that $x+2y\neq 0\neq y+2x$. ...

Two queries on triangles, the sides of which have rational lengths
Let us define a "rational triangle" as one in the Euclidean plane, with lengths of all sides rational.
We are aware that a positive integer is called "congruent" only if it is the area of a right ...

Are there Heronian triangles that can be decomposed into three smaller ones?
Is there anything known about the existence of Heronian triangles ABC (i.e. with rational side lengths and rational area) that can be decomposed into three Heronian triangles ABD, BCD, CAD? ...
