NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – Two students at a school in New Orleans have presented evidence of a mathematical discovery that scholars have been trying to prove for 2,000 years. School officials at St. Mary’s ...

The Pythagorean theorem, a cornerstone of mathematics for millennia, provides a method for determining unknown sides in right-angled triangles using the formula a² + b² = c². Its applications extend ...

If you have taken high school geometry, you have learned about the Pythagorean Theorem (even if you don’t remember it today). The theorem is an essential part of Euclidean geometry, and it goes as ...

In an astonishing breakthrough, two young students from Louisiana have done what many thought was impossible: proving Pythagoras’ theorem using only trigonometry. Their discovery has rocked the world ...
