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 ...

August 15, 2017 (8/15/17) was Pythagorean Theorem Day (see I missed Pythagorean Theorem Day). I was not even aware that there was such a day until this year, but it brought to my attention some really ...

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 ...

If the sides of the right-angled triangle are labelled 𝑎, 𝑏 and 𝑐 then Pythagoras' theorem can be written as the formula 𝑎² + 𝑏² = 𝑐². Pythagoras' theorem can be used to find the length of line ...

Two New Orleans students who solved the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry have had their discovery confirmed by the math community after their findings were published in the American Mathematical ...

The Pythagorean theorem, a cornerstone of mathematics for millennia, provides a method for determining unknown sides in right-angled triangles using the formula a² + b² = c². Its applications extend ...
