I am so excited for tomorrow, I can hardly stand it!
You may be asking, "What's so special about Tuesday, August 15, 2017?"
The date of 8/15/17 makes it Pythagorean Theorem* Day!
I bought a special t-shirt for the occasion, and I even got permission to wear it to work. (I work for a technical school, so it wasn't that hard a sell.) 😊
I hope that everyone is at least half as excited as I am. I love this stuff!
*If the month and day — 8 and 15 — are the lengths of the smaller sides of a right triangle, then the two-digit year — 17 — is the length of the hypotenuse. The Theorem: The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Do the math!
