Happy Pythagoras Day!

Engagement, Geometry 1 Minute

Happy Pythagoras Day! Today is 8/15/17 (or 15/8/17 in other parts of the world), and 8^2+15^2=17^2.

We might as well celebrate today, because the next Pythagoras Day won’t happen for over 3 years. (Bonus points if you can figure out when it will be.)
