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 ...

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 ...

High schoolers find new way to solve Pythagorean theorem Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson said they have found a way to prove the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry without circular logic, a ...

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 ...

For generations, Indian students have learnt it simply as the Pythagoras Theorem. In a quiet but significant shift, the Class 8 NCERT mathematics textbook has now introduced it as the ...

A high school teacher didn't expect a solution when she set a 2,000-year-old Pythagorean Theorem problem in front of her students. Then Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson stepped up to the challenge.

Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson believe they can prove the Pythagorean Theorem using trigonometry — and are being encouraged to submit their work for peer review Jason Hahn is a former Human ...
