Generating scalene Heron triangles — Part 2

 
Heron scalene triangles can be constructed from either combining two Pythagorean triangles or by subtracting two Pythagorean triangles.

 
I provided a method in Generating scalene Heron triangles — Part 1
 
Now, let’s construct Heron scalene triangles by subtracting two Pythagorean triangles.

 
HERON SCALENE 2

AB = c

Here are all scalene Heron triangles when the shortest leg is   \leq \; 50
 

HERON SCALENE 3
HERON SCALENE 4
HERON SCALENE 5

    There are also the indecomposable herons that have rational heights for example the {25, 34, 39, 420} triangle {a, b, c, area}. So I do think your statement that all triangles can be constructed above is a bit misleading.
