Problem

Completely describe the set of all right triangles with positive integer-valued legs such that when four copies of the triangle are arranged in square formation shown below, the incenters of the four triangles lie on the extensions of the sides of the smaller square. (Note: the incenter of a triangle is the center of the circle inscribed in that triangle.)

[asy] size(200); path T=((0,0)--(4,0)--(4,.3)--(3.7,.3)--(3.7,0)--(4,0)--(4,3)--(0,0)); D(T,black); D(shift(10,0)*rotate(53)*T,black); D(shift(15,5)*rotate(233)*T,black); D(shift(15,0)*rotate(143)*T,black); D(shift(10,5)*rotate(323)*T,black); [/asy]
