The sum of the first $n$ squared numbers:

enter image description here

The first 3 triangles are the same, just rotated. Also, notice that

$$\begin{align}1^2&=1\\2^2&=2+2\\3^2&=3+3+3\\\vdots\ \ &\quad\ \ \vdots\qquad\qquad\quad\ddots\\n^2&=n+n+\dots+n+n\end{align}$$

Which is the first triangle. The last triangle is given by $\frac12[n(n+1)(2n+1)]$

Thus,

$$3(1^2+2^2+3^2+\dots+n^2)=\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}2$$
