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 ...

Do you think there’s a triangle whose angles measure 41, 76 and 63 degrees? At first, answering this may seem easy. From geometry class we know that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a ...

This is an updated version of a story first published on May 5, 2024. For many high school students returning to class, it may seem like geometry and trigonometry were created by the Greeks as a form ...

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. When you ...

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.

Pythagoras Theorem: The Pythagoras Theorem is a fundamental principle in geometry, attributed to the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras. This theorem establishes a relationship between the sides ...

Revise the different types of angles and rules for calculating angles. This guide includes interactive activities and a quiz. NEW: Angles in parallel lines Revise alternate, correspondent or ...

There’s a delightful mathematical moment in the movie Merry Andrew, when Danny Kaye, playing schoolmaster Andrew Larabee, breaks into song to teach the Pythagorean theorem. I was reminded of this ...

The Pythagorean theorem stands as one of mathematics' most enduring and practical principles. Named after the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras, this fundamental concept has guided engineers, ...
