I'm a day late, but not a hypotenuse short on this one. Why 7/24/25 is (was) a special day, and what it shows us about other special right triangles.

How would you compute 42² + 126² in your head? Spot that 126 = 3 × 42, and the sum becomes 42² + (3×42)² = 10 × 42² = 17,640. A tough-looking problem turns into one quick multiplication—if you catch the pattern. #MentalMath #MathTricks #SumOfSquares
