Searching for Perfect Squares using the Pythagorean Theorem

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the application of the Pythagorean theorem to determine perfect squares given a difference. A researcher claims to have developed a theorem related to this concept but lacks references to existing studies. Participants emphasize the need for clarity regarding the specific study and request links to relevant research for further exploration.

perfect square?

hello everyone! i have come across an on-going research onDETERMINING A PERFECT SQUARE GIVEN A DIFFERENCE . However, I have a feeling that this was not an original one.

the researcher used the Pythagorean theorem to arrive at his so called "theorem".

would anyone give me a reference on some related studies. thank you very much!

I don't know how anyone could say if there are "related studies" since you don't tell what the "study" is. In particular "DETERMINING A PERFECT SQUARE GIVEN A DIFFERENCE " could refer to any number of things. It might help if you gave a link to the website (if it was a website) or other reference.
 
what i mean is that are there other "studies/past studies on this kind of topic" actually, i haven't browsed any sites of other studies such as this. anway, if you have some, i hope you could share me the site. thank you very much!
