Talk:Law of cosines - triples
Showing the sides in order?
I see the samples show the 60 degree triangles with the sides in ascending order, however ( a, b, c ) = ( 5, 7, 8 ) isn't a solution of
a^2 + b^2 - ab = c^2.
Where the task says "Find all integer solutions to the three specific cases, in order;", presumably this should be in order of ascending first (lowest) side?

- You are right. Thanks for bringing this up. I fixed my Factor submission. --Chunes (talk) 14:28, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
- I changed the wording of that task's requirement (hopefully, it is more clearer). In any case, that's what I took it to mean, that the triangles are to be shown in increasing (ascending) order of the first side found. -- Gerard Schildberger (talk) 06:56, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
