In 2022, U.S. high school students Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson astonished teachers when they discovered a new way to prove Pythagoras' theorem using trigonometry after entering a competition at ...

Most every kid learns a² + b² = c² in math. Pythagoras, right? Wrong. Babylonians used trigonometry 1,000 years before the Greeks. Time to rewrite history? This unassuming clay tablet may yet turn the ...

The sides of right-angled triangles are labelled opposite, hypotenuse and adjacent. Trigonometry explores the relationship between sides and angles in right-angled triangles. The hypotenuse is the ...

An understanding of how to use Pythagoras’ theorem to find missing sides in a right-angled triangle is essential for applying the theorem in different contexts. (3,1) is the coordinate that is 3 along ...

It's long been accepted that the ancient Greeks were responsible for developing the mathematical concept of trigonometry, but a new discovery indicates they weren't the first to figure it out after ...
