Why is every square number the difference between the previous 2 plus 2?

191 views

Hard to explain but like 1 squared is 1
2 is 4 that’s 3 difference
3 squared is 9 that’s a 5 difference
4 is 16 that’s a 7 difference. It just keeps rising by 2 why is this?

That 6×6 is 5×5 plus 5 and 6 is magnificent. I understand.

Can it work with anything? 15 squared is 225. By that logic 16 squared is 225 +15 +16 equals 256. HOLY HELL THANK YOU SO MUCH WHAT ABOUT 532 squared

That’s 283024 plus 532 plus 533 equals 284089

533 squared is just that.

YOU JUST.BLEW MY MIND. NEVER BEFORE HAS SQUARE NUMBERS BEEN EASIER. I’m shocked there’s this any rules for finding squared numbers.
