Congruent Number

Number Theory

In number theory, a congruent number is a positive integer that is the area of a right triangle whose three sides are all rational numbers. A more general definition extends the property to all positive rational numbers, not only integers.

Is Kind Of Object

Entity-backed identity for the object-kind enum value this mathematical object already carries, resolved to a mathematics concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The object-kind fact itself stays on the object unchanged.
