The canonical height of an elliptic curve vanishes on torsion and satisfies . If , their nonzero integer coefficients therefore have equal squares, so
for some .
Negation leaves the -coordinate unchanged. Addition by the four 2-torsion points changes among
Substitution in the three side formulas for , using , only changes signs and permutes the three values. Hence and are the same right triangle up to reordering their sides.
