Two New Orleans high school students recently attended a conference where they proved an “impossible” math problem by using trigonometry. For more than 2,000 years, mathematicians worldwide have ...

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.

If the sides of the right-angled triangle are labelled 𝑎, 𝑏 and 𝑐 then Pythagoras' theorem can be written as the formula 𝑎² + 𝑏² = 𝑐². Pythagoras' theorem can be used to find the length of line ...

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, such ...

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 ...

Two teens say they’ve historically solved Pythagoras’ famous theorem by using trigonometry. New Orleans natives Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson, who attend St. Mary’s Academy, presented their ...

Two New Orleans-based teenagers have cracked the code of an impossible math problem that hasn’t been discovered for nearly 2,000 years, according to a presentation they gave at a recent mathematics ...
