Problem Statement

Prove that there exists some positive real number λ\lambda such that for any D>1RD_{>1}\in\mathbb{R}, one can always find an acute triangle ABC\triangle ABC in the Cartesian plane such that [*] A,B,CA, B, C lie on lattice points; [*] AB,BC,CA>DAB, BC, CA>D; [*] SABC<34D2+λD4/5S_{\triangle ABC}<\frac{\sqrt 3}{4}D^2+\lambda\cdot D^{4/5}.
