In 2022, two high school students created a trigonometric proof of the Pythagorean Theorem—something that’s only ever been accomplished by a few professional mathematicians. Now, a new article not ...

For centuries, the Pythagorean Theorem has occupied a unique position in mathematics: both elementary and profound. Its equation, a² + b² = c², is taught early and used widely, yet its implications ...

This is an updated version of a story first published on May 5, 2024. For many high school students returning to class, it may seem like geometry and trigonometry were created by the Greeks as a form ...

Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson from Louisiana blew the math community away when they presented a solution to the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry, an impossible feat for 2,000 years. They ...

For centuries, students have learned that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Known as the Pythagorean Theorem, this ...

Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson, have achieved a remarkable feat by proving the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry, an accomplishment long considered impossible due to circular reasoning. Two ...

Two American high school students have stunned mathematicians after they claimed that they discovered a new way to prove Pythagoras' theorem by using trigonometry- a feat mathematicians thought was ...
