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.

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. By. Jason Hahn.

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 ...

Two high school students have proved the Pythagorean theorem in a way that one early 20th-century mathematician thought was impossible: using trigonometry. Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson ...

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.

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 ...

Ne’Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson have published a paper on a new way to prove the 2000-year-old Pythagorean theorem. Their work began in a high school math contest.

Two New Orleans students who solved the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry have had their discovery confirmed by the math community after their findings were published in the American ...

It concerned the Pythagorean theorem, a staple of high school math lessons which defines the relationship between the three sides of a right-angled triangle, expressed with the formula a 2 +b 2 =c 2.

An old tadpole, new Pythagorean Theorem proof and how fruit may have affected evolution NPR's Ailsa Chang talks with Regina Barber and Emily Kwong of Short Wave about the oldest known tadpole, ...
