COMMENTS

"You can find an infinite number of [different] triangular numbers such that when multipled together form a square number. For example, for every triangular number, T_n, there are an infinite number of other triangular numbers, T_m, such that T_n*T_m is a square. For example, T_2 * T_24 = 30^2."
