In this triangle \(a^2 = b^2 + c^2\) and angle \(A\) is a right angle. Pythagoras' theorem only works for right-angled triangles, so you can use it to test whether a triangle has a right angle or not.

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 ...

In their peer-reviewed work, Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson present five new ways of proving Pythagoras' Theorem via trigonometry. They also detail a new method for finding proofs that yield at ...

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 ...

What began as a bonus question in a high school math contest has resulted in a staggering 10 new ways to prove the ancient mathematical rule of Pythagoras' theorem. "There are no trigonometric proofs ...

A recent discovery suggests the Pythagorean theorem could be the world's oldest known case of plagiarism. The ancient Greek philosopher, born in 570 BC, is credited for creating the math that helps ...

A NEW book suggests the builders of the famous site were privy to a mathematical theorem of a famous Greek philosopher two millennia before he developed it. A new book titled Megalith: Studies in ...
