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—discovered by the Greek mathematician Pythagoras in the 6th century BCE—is a cornerstone of mathematics. Simply stated as a 2 + b 2 = c 2, the theorem posits that the sum of ...

Two US high schoolers believe they have cracked a mathematical mystery left unproven for centuries. Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson looked at the Pythagorean theorem, foundational to trigonometry.

Two high school seniors have presented their proof of the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry — which mathematicians thought to be impossible — at an American Mathematical Society meeting. When you ...

NEW ORLEANS — Two New Orleans high school seniors from St. Mary's Academy were featured in a '60 Minutes special on Sunday, May 5. Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson sat down with CBS correspondent ...

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 Mathematical ...

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 ...

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

NEW ORLEANS — The two women and St. Mary’s Academy graduates who used trigonometry to prove the 2000-year-old Pythagorean Theorem math equation, had their findings confirmed by the math experts after ...

NBA legend Charles Barkley is delivering on a promise he made about four months ago to donate $1 million to a New Orleans Catholic school where two students incredibly solved the Pythagorean Theorem.
