Rational right triangles of a given area

Starting from any given rational-sided, right triangle, for example, the (3,4,5)-triangle with area 6, we use Euclidean geometry to show that there are infinitely many other rational-sided, right triangles of the same area. We show further that the set of all such triangles of a given area is finitely generated under our geometric construction. Such areas are known as “congruent numbers” and have a rich history in which all the results in this article have been proved and far more. Yet, as far as we can tell, this seems to be the first exploration using this kind of geometric technique.
