Pythagorean Tiles (num 139) for next week

Let (a,b,c)(A,B,C) represent the three sides of a right angle triangle with integral length sides. It is possible to place four such triangles together to form a square with length cC.

For example, (3,4,5)(3,4,5) triangles can be placed together to form a 55 by 55 square with 111 by 1 hole in the middle and it can be seen that the 55 by 55 square can be tiled with twenty-five 11 by 11 squares.


However, if (5,12,13)(5,12,13) triangles were used then the hole would measure 77 by 77 and these could not be used to tile the 1313 by 1313 square.

Given that the perimeter of the right triangle is less than one-hundred million, how many Pythagorean triangles would allow such a tiling to take place?
