Pairs of Pythagorean triangles with given catheti ratios

Abstract

In this note we investigate the problem of finding pairs of Pythagorean triangles (a, b, c), (A, B, C), with given catheti ratios A/a, B/b. In particular, we prove that there are infinitely many essentially different ("non-similar") pairs of Pythagorean triangles (a, b, c), (A, B, C) satisfying given proportions, provided that Aa≠ Bb.
