## Description
|
|
<section id='description'>
|
|
<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heron's formula" title="wp: Heron's formula">Hero's formula</a> for the area of a triangle given the length of its three sides <big> a,</big> <big>b,</big> and <big>c</big> is given by:</p><p><big>$$A = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)},$$</big></p><p>where <big>s</big> is half the perimeter of the triangle; that is,</p><p><big>$$s=\frac{a+b+c}{2}.$$</big></p>

<p><a href="http://www.had2know.com/academics/heronian-triangles-generator-calculator.html" title="link: http://www.had2know.com/academics/heronian-triangles-generator-calculator.html">Heronian triangles</a> are triangles whose sides and area are all integers.</p>
|
|
<p> An example is the triangle with sides 3, 4, 5 whose area is 6 (and whose perimeter is 12). </p>
|
|
<p>Note that any triangle whose sides are all an integer multiple of 3, 4, 5; such as 6, 8, 10, will also be a Heronian triangle.</p><p>Define a Primitive Heronian triangle as a Heronian triangle where the greatest common divisor</p>
|
|
<p>of all three sides is 1 (unity).</p><p>This will exclude, for example, triangle 6, 8, 10.</p>
|
|
Task:
|
|
<p>Implement a function based on Hero's formula that returns the first <code>n<sub>th</sub></code> ordered triangles in an array of arrays.</p>
