a 2 + b 2 = c 2. Remember that from high school math class? That's the Pythagorean theorem, which shows that in a right triangle, where the shorter legs are a and b, the sum of their squares is equal ...

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 ...

Mathematics students frequently encounter challenges when tackling geometric concepts, especially those requiring spatial visualisation skills. The transition from basic arithmetic to geometric ...

You might think that once a theorem has been proved that would be the end of it. I mean, is there possibly any value in having another proof of something? A new proof certainly doesn't make a theorem ...

Two high school students proved the Pythagorean theorem in a way that one early 20th-century mathematician thought would be impossible: by using trigonometry. Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson, both ...

the Pythagorean theorem. Keith McNulty, an expert in applied mathematics, said: 'It's a wonderful demonstration that excellence in a field of research is achievable by anyone with joy and passion, ...

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 ...

If you have taken high school geometry, you have learned about the Pythagorean Theorem (even if you don’t remember it today). The theorem is an essential part of Euclidean geometry, and it goes as ...
