So basically, you've got two right-angled triangles, the first one; Side A = (n+1) Side B = (n-1) Side C = d1
the second one Side A = (n+2) Side B = (n-2) Side C = d2
Problem to be solved is the difference between d2 squared and d1 squared The answer I found was 0, but is this mathematically possible without every single side being equal to 0, which would make the triangle a dot?

| n is nowhere defined to be a constant number or a variable, by the way |

| @Reloaded; applying Pythagoras I discovered d2-d1 to be equal to 0, which would mean n is a variable that renders each side on both triangles to equal 0, which'd be very odd |

| @chat, I did my homework, but it's bothering me a lot that the answer I found is 0, I just want to know if it;s possible and how it's possible if it is. |

Well in my 71 seconds of solving, i dont think these triangles can be formed, it would colapse into a line

| A single dot even, by my calculations, so it's a trick question? |

Not exactly a "trick" but the answer can not be given, because no triangle can be formed
