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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Is your local Major League Baseball team better than its record suggests? Math researchers are considering alternatives to the Pythagorean Theorem of Baseball, devised by baseball statistician ...

We prove a necessary and sufficient condition for a given integer to be the hypotenuse of a primitive Pythagorean triangle. This characterization is based on partitions into consecutive parts.
