The 2,000 year-old theorem states that the sum of the squares on the legs of a right triangle is equivalent to the square on the hypotenuse, or the longest side of a right triangle. Using a ...

This is an updated version of a story first published on Nov. 1, 2024 For centuries, students have learned that in a right ...

GCSE Pythagoras' theorem - Intermediate & Higher tier - WJEC Using the hypotenuse to find another side Pythagoras’ theorem allows us to calculate lengths in right-angled triangles.

Two high school students have proved the Pythagorean theorem in a way that one early 20th-century mathematician thought was impossible: using trigonometry.

Pythagoras’ theorem can be used to find the distance between two points. This is done by joining the points together to form the hypotenuse ...

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

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.

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 to the square of the longest leg, the hypotenuse, c.

Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson said they have found a way to prove the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry without circular logic, a feat thought impossible by many scholars.
