In this math tutorial, we explore how to find the missing side of a right triangle using the pythagorean theorem. We'll specifically look at examples involving a radical to ensure you can solve ...

Two students who discovered a seemingly impossible proof to the Pythagorean theorem in 2022 have wowed the math community again with nine completely new solutions to the problem. While still in high ...

August 15, 2017 (8/15/17) was Pythagorean Theorem Day (see I missed Pythagorean Theorem Day). I was not even aware that there was such a day until this year, but it brought to my attention some really ...

But that isn’t quite true: in our lecture we present a new proof of Pythagoras’s Theorem which is based on a fundamental result in trigonometry—the Law of Sines—and we show that the proof is ...

This is an updated version of a story first published on Nov. 1, 2024 For centuries, students have learned that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the ...
