The Pythagorean theorem, which explains how to calculate the longest side of a right-angled triangle, is an ancient mathematical statement that still buttresses modern-day construction, aviation and ...

The Pythagorean theorem has never been easier to understand! Learn how to use it to solve any right triangle with clear examples and step-by-step explanations. Perfect for revision, exams, and ...

The Pythagorean theorem provides an equation to calculate the longer side of a right triangle by summing the squares of the other two sides. It is often phrased as a 2 + b 2 = c 2 .

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.

Simply stated as a 2 + b 2 = c 2, the theorem posits that the sum of the two shortest sides of a right triangle (a 2 and b 2) is equal to that triangle’s longest side (c 2).

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 Jason Hahn is a former Human ...

Pythagoras’ theorem — a 2 + b 2 = c 2, relating the length of a right triangle’s hypotenuse to those of its other two sides — has been proven many times with algebra and geometry (SN: 4/2/03).

The 2,000 year-old theorem states that the sum of the squares on the legs of a right triangle is equivalent to the square on the hypotenuse, or the longest side of a right triangle.
