Happy Mathy Halloween from Mathematics Institute of the Triangle! Can you find all right triangles with integer side lengths where exactly one of the sides is 13? Do any right triangles have two sides of length 13? Can you draw a triangle where all the sides are 13? #Halloween #mtbos

Make a 3-4-5 right triangle and inscribe a circle (make a circle that is just big enough to touch the sides of the triangle). The area of that circle is exactly πr² or π square units! #mtbos

Thanks to @mathowitz.bsky.social for reminding us that 2025 is itself a perfect square! We asked our students in Jan. what its square root is (and how to easily find it), what the next perfect square year will be, and how many perfect square years the United States has had since 1776. #mtbos
