In a new peer-reviewed study, Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson outlined 10 ways to solve the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry, including a proof they discovered in high school. When you ...
Two high school seniors have presented their proof of the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry — which mathematicians thought to be impossible — at an American Mathematical Society meeting. When you ...
The longest side of a right-angled triangle is the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle. Draw a square on each side of a right-angled triangle. Calculate the area of each ...
Two high school students have proved the Pythagorean theorem in a way that one early 20th-century mathematician thought was impossible: using trigonometry. Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson, both at ...
Two American high school students say they’ve discovered a trigonometric proof for the famous theorem, which many believe to be impossible. Show more Pythagoras’ Theorem, explaining the relationship ...
