Celebrating Pythagorean Triplets Day on our Independence day...

[Rupesh Gesota]

I think you must be aware, by now, about the interesting fact of our this year's independence day date: 15/08/17 

The three numbers 15, 8, 17 form the Pythagorean Triplet...  i.e.  15^2 + 8^2 = 17^2  i.e. these three numbers represent the lengths of the sides of a right-angled triangle... Many messages were floated in social media like whatsapp, facebook groups  esp among the mathematical communities and even among the matho-phobic groups about this rare and beautiful coincidence.... 

Read this post to learn how a bunch of government school students were led to "construct the Formula" to Generate one of the Infinite set of Primitive Pythagorean Triplets on their Independence Day !
