--description--

Given is an integer sided triangle ABC with sides a ≤ b ≤ c. (AB = c, BC = a and AC = b).

The angular bisectors of the triangle intersect the sides at points E, F and G (see picture below).

triangle ABC, with angular bisectors intersecting sides at the points E, F and G

The segments EF, EG and FG partition the triangle ABC into four smaller triangles: AEG, BFE, CGF and EFG. It can be proven that for each of these four triangles the ratio \frac{\text{area}(ABC)}{\text{area}(\text{subtriangle})} is rational. However, there exist triangles for which some or all of these ratios are integral.

How many triangles ABC with perimeter ≤ 100\\,000\\,000 exist so that the ratio \frac{\text{area}(ABC)}{\text{area}(AEG)} is integral?
