max = 42; triangles = Reap[Do[s = (a+b+c)/2; area = Sqrt[s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)]; If[IntegerQ[area] && area > 0, Sow[{a, b, c, area}]], {a, 1, max}, {b, a, max}, {c, b, max}]][[2, 1]]; A055595 = Sort[triangles, #1[[3]]*max^2 + #1[[2]]*max + #1[[1]] < #2[[3]]* max^2 + #2[[2]]*max + #2[[1]] &][[All, 4]](* Jean-François Alcover, Jun 12 2012 *)

Formula

a(n) = sqrt(s(n)*(s(n)-A055592(n))*(s(n)-A055593(n))*(s(n)-A055594(n))) where s(n) = (A055592(n)+A055593(n)+A055594(n))/2 i.e. half the perimeter of the triangle
