Alison Kiddle<p>For the final day of Daily <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/LegoMaths" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LegoMaths</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/LegoMath" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LegoMath</span></a>, three squares which share the special relationship that the smaller two areas sum to the larger area. Can you find other whole numbers that satisfy this relationship?</p>
