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 ...

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 ...

A high school teacher didn't expect a solution when she set a 2,000-year-old Pythagorean Theorem problem in front of her ...

What began as a bonus question in a high school math contest has resulted in a staggering 10 new ways to prove the ancient mathematical rule of Pythagoras' theorem. "There are no trigonometric ...

Two New Orleans high school students have proven the Pythagorean Theorem using trigonometry without relying on circular reasoning. That should be impossible.

Here, if we use the sine theorem, which does not use the Pythagorean theorem , to convert the formula for the ratio of straight lines A and C, we end up with the following formula.

Two Black teenage girls from New Orleans could be the first mathematicians in at least 2000 years to find trigonometric proof for the Pythagorean Theorem.

Two New Orleans high school students have stunned mathematicians after claiming they have proven Pythagoras’s theorem by using trigonometry - something academics have long thought to be impossible.

Ne’Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson have published 10 trigonometric proofs of the Pythagorean theorem, a feat thought impossible for 2,000 years.

It's long been claimed impossible to use trigonometry to prove what is effectively a theorem that's fundamental to trigonometry. This falls into the logical fallacy of circular thinking by trying ...
