The standard Pythagorean theorem is used on an everyday basis in professions like architecture, building construction, navigation, spaceflight, computer sciences, and more. Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya ...

New Orleans High School seniors Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson were honored at the 2023 Essence Festival through AT&T’s Dream in Black program. The Math geniuses proved the 2,000-year-old theory ...

Some mathematicians have stated that proving the theorem using trigonometry is impossible without circular reasoning, because trigonometry relies so much on the theorem itself. Two New Orleans high ...

For centuries, the Pythagorean Theorem has occupied a unique position in mathematics: both elementary and profound. Its ...

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 ...

The Pythagorean Theorem is an ancient theory that states that in a right triangle, if the length of the hypotenuse is c, and the lengths of the two sides that sandwich the right angle are a and b, ...

*The Pythagorean theorem has baffled academics for 2,000 years but two high school students from New Orleans have reportedly solved the impossible. The students from St. Mary’s Academy presented their ...

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 ...

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 ...
