Some identical balls are arranged in rows to form an equilateral triangle. The first row consists of one ball, the second row consists of two balls and so on. If $99$ more identical balls are added to the total number of balls used in forming the equilateral triangle, then all these balls can be arranged in a square whose each side contains exactly $2$ balls less than the number of balls each side of the triangle contains. Then the number of balls used to form the equilateral triangle is:
