a positive integer A that, if increased or decreased by the same positive integer B, yields 2 positive integers, A+B and A-B, that are both perfect squares"
OK... i figured out kinda what it meant... i think the integer B is equal to A-1, like the rectangular number definition: n(n-1)

RossA Benson rectangular number is a positive integer that can be represented as the sum of two squares in more than one way. In other words, it can be expressed as a^2 + b^2 = c^2 + d^2, where a, b, c, and d are positive integers. These numbers are named after mathematician Karl D. Benson, who studied them extensively in the 1960s. Benson rectangular numbers have interesting properties and connections to number theory and Diophantine equations.
Well, sweetheart, a Benson rectangular number is a number that can be expressed as the sum of two consecutive squares. So, if you take the square of 5 (25) and the square of 6 (36) and add them together, you get 61, which is a Benson rectangular number. It's just a fancy way of saying math can be a little quirky sometimes.

How many bases does a rectangular pyramid have?
A rectangular pyramid has 5 bases. The base of a pyramid is the polygon upon which the pyramid stands, and in the case of a rectangular pyramid, there are four triangular faces that meet at a single rectangular base. So, the total number of bases in a rectangular pyramid is 1 (rectangular base) + 4 (triangular faces) = 5 bases.
