How many non-congruent right triangles are there such that the perimeter in $\text{cm}$ and the area in $\text{cm}^2$ are numerically equal? 
$\textbf{(A)} \ \text{none} \qquad  \textbf{(B)} \ 1 \qquad  \textbf{(C)} \ 2 \qquad  \textbf{(D)} \ 4 \qquad  \textbf{(E)} \ \text{infinitely many}$
Let the triangle have legs of length $a$ and $b$, so by the Pythagorean Theorem, the hypotenuse has length $\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$. Therefore we require \begin{align*} &a + b + \sqrt{a^2+b^2} = \frac{1}{2} ab \\ \Rightarrow \quad &2 \sqrt{a^2+b^2} = ab - 2a - 2b \\ \Rightarrow \quad &4a^2 + 4b^2 = a^{2}b^{2} + 4a^2 + 4b^2 - 4a^{2}b - 4ab^{2} + 8ab \\ \Rightarrow \quad &4a^{2}b + 4ab^{2} = a^{2}b^{2} + 8ab. \end{align*} Now, as $a$ and $b$ are side lengths of a triangle, they must both be non-zero, so we can safely divide by $ab$ to give $4a + 4b = ab + 8 \Rightarrow b(a-4) = 4a-8 \Rightarrow b = \frac{4a-8}{a-4}$, so for any value of $a$ other than $4$, we can generate a valid corresponding value of $b$. 
Notice also that each of these values of $a$ will give a unique corresponding value of $b$, since $\frac{4a-8}{a-4} = 4 + \frac{8}{a-4}$, and by considering the graph of $y = 4 + \frac{8}{x-4}$, it is clear that any horizontal line will intersect it at most once. Thus there are infinitely many valid solutions (one for every value of $a$ except $4$), so the answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(E)} \ \text{infinitely many}}$.
