      The sequence \textit{OEIS A281505} consists of distinct odd legs in right triangles with integer sides and prime hypotenuse. The author of the paper considers the closely related quantity. The main result of the paper is the following asymptotic estimate: \N\[\N\#\mathcal{B}(N)\asymp\frac{N}{\big(\log N\big)^\delta \sqrt{\log\log N}},\N\]\Nwhere \N\[\N\mathcal{B}(N)=\big\{n\leqslant N: \exists \,a,b \in\mathbb{N}, n=ab, \Omega(a^2+b^2)\leqslant 5, P^-(a^2+b^2)>N^{1/9}\big\},\N\]\N\(P^-(m)\) denotes the smallest prime factor of \(m\), \(\Omega(m)\) counts the total number of prime factors of \(m\) honoring their multiplicity, and \(\delta=1-(1+\log\log 2)/\log 2\) is the Erdős-Tenenbaum-Ford constant.
