The Pythagorean Theorem—discovered by the Greek mathematician Pythagoras in the 6th century BCE—is a cornerstone of mathematics. Simply stated as a 2 + b 2 = c 2, the theorem posits that the sum of ...

Two US college students, who discovered a new way to prove Pythagoras' famous 2,000-year-old theorem in 2022 have now come up with five different ways of solving the problem using trigonometry. Their ...

What began as a bonus question in a high school math contest has resulted in a staggering 10 new ways to prove the ancient ...

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 ...

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – Two students at a school in New Orleans have presented evidence of a mathematical discovery that scholars have been trying to prove for 2,000 years. School officials at St. Mary’s ...

For over two millennia, mathematicians agreed on one thing: you can’t use trigonometry to prove Pythagoras’ Theorem—because trigonometry is built on it. That logic, drilled into students and scholars ...

With all due respect to Pythagoras, newly uncovered evidence suggests that his famous theorem, used to calculate the lengths of each side of a right triangle, might be 1,000 years older than him. That ...
