US teens devise 5 innovative methods to prove Pythagoras' theorem through trigonometry

In an remarkable academic achievement, two US college students, Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson, have expanded upon Pythagoras' famous theorem by developing five new solutions using trigonometry. Two US students discovered five new proofs of Pythagoras' theorem using trigonometry. Ten proofs and a new frontier {{^userSubscribed}} {{/userSubscribed}} {{^userSubscribed}} {{/userSubscribed}} Now, as college students, Johnson and Jackson have ventured further, presenting not only five distinct solutions but also unveiling a method that leads to an additional five proofs, culminating in a total of ten new insights into Pythagoras' theorem. So the fact that all these people actually are interested in STEM and mathematics really warms my heart and makes me really excited for how far STEM has come.” {{^userSubscribed}} {{/userSubscribed}} {{^userSubscribed}} {{/userSubscribed}} Della Dumbaugh, editor of American Mathematical Monthly, expressed her pride in the journal’s role in publishing such vital research, acknowledging the contributions of the Editorial Board, particularly Grant Cairns, who helped refine the presentation of their work.
