and the 5 digits must be
even digits 4, 6, and 8,
and odd digits 1 and 9,
the even digits must be A, C, and E,
while B and D are 1 and 9.
Since A+D=E, with E being a digit, D cannot be 9,
so it has to be , and .
Then means --> --> .

Of the 9 available digits exactly 3 are square,
,
,
.
Those will be the middle digits, B, C, and D.
