Let $\alpha, \beta$ and $\gamma$ denote the angles of the triangle $ABC$. The perpendicular bisector of $AB$ intersects $BC$ at the point $X$, the perpendicular bisector of $AC$ intersects it at $Y$. Prove that $\tan(\beta) \cdot \tan(\gamma) = 3$ implies $BC= XY$ (or in other words: Prove that a sufficient condition for $BC = XY$ is $\tan(\beta) \cdot \tan(\gamma) = 3$). Show that this condition is not necessary, and give a necessary and sufficient condition for $BC = XY$.

A Pythagorean triangle is any right-angled triangle for which the lengths of two legs and the length of the hypotenuse are integers. We are observing all Pythagorean triangles in which may be inscribed a quadrangle with sidelength integer number, two of which sides lie on the cathets and one of the vertices of which lies on the hypotenuse of the triangle given. Find the side lengths of the triangle with minimal surface from the observed triangles.
