Solution
Three, let a and b be the lengths of the two legs of a right triangle, then the length of the hypotenuse c=a2+b2. Since a, b, and c are all positive integers, a=b. Without loss of generality, assume a>b. According to the problem, we have a+b+a2+b2=2ab.
Squaring both sides and simplifying, we get 4a2b2−a2b−ab2+2ab=0, which simplifies to ab−4a−4b+8=0. Thus, (a−4)(b−4)=8=1×8=2×4. Since a and b are positive integers and a>b, we have {a−4=8,b−4=1 or {a−4=4,b−4=2
Solving these, we get a=12,b=5,c=13; or a=8,b=6,c=10. Therefore, the lengths of the sides of the right triangle are (12,5,13) or (8,6,10).
