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

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 ...

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 ...

Two New Orleans high school students recently attended a conference where they proved an “impossible” math problem by using trigonometry. For more than 2,000 years, mathematicians worldwide have ...

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 years ago, a couple of high school classmates each composed a mathematical marvel, a trigonometric proof of the Pythagorean theorem. Now, they’re unveiling 10 more. For over 2,000 years, such ...

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

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 ...

NEW ORLEANS — The two women and St. Mary’s Academy graduates who used trigonometry to prove the 2000-year-old Pythagorean Theorem math equation, had their findings confirmed by the math experts after ...

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 ...
