Shutterstock Anyone who has taken high-school math classes has heard of the Pythagorean theorem (even if you don’t remember exactly what it was). Most people also remember that it was named after ...

The Pythagorean theorem provides an equation to calculate the longer side of a right triangle by summing the squares of the other two sides. It is often phrased as a 2 + b 2 = c 2.

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 true for rectangles of any proportion—skinny, blocky, or anything in between. The squares on the two sides always add up to the square on the diagonal.

The Pythagorean Theorem, a cornerstone of geometry, empowers students to solve right triangle problems and unlock advanced mathematical concepts. Mastering this theorem enhances logical reasoning, ...

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.

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 ...

Pythagorean Theorem: There's More To This Equation In their new book, Hidden Harmonies, husband and wife mathematics team Robert and Ellen Kaplan pay tribute to that familiar formula you learned ...

The Pythagorean Theorem (a 2 + b 2 = c 2) is fundamental to mathematics, especially to the field of trigonometry. Some mathematicians have stated that proving the theorem using trigonometry is ...

Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson surprised the math world when, as seniors in high school, they produced innovative solutions to a 2,000-year-old puzzle.

For Right Triangles of unequal sides, the Pythagorean Theorem showed results that were +/- 5% of the linear formula at the vertex of the parabolic curve. This research paper also showed that the ...

NPR's Ailsa Chang talks with Regina Barber and Emily Kwong of Short Wave about the oldest known tadpole, new proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem, and the evolutionary roots of alcohol consumption.
