High school students Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson did something in 2023 that most mathematicians had thought impossible ...

Most trigonometry students look at triangles on a flat surface. However, people from ancient astronomers to modern navigators calculated the arc lengths and angles of triangles on a sphere. They used ...

In a new peer-reviewed study, Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson outlined 10 ways to solve the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry, including a proof they discovered in high school.

In December 2022, a high school in Louisiana challenged its students with a bonus math question that came with a $500 cash prize: Using trigonometry, they had to create a new proof of the Pythagorean ...

The two, now college students, have come up with five ways of solving the problem using trigonometry along with a method that reveals five other proofs. One of their proofs was previously ...

Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson’s solution was solidified by math peers last week and since then the pair have discovered ...

Ne’Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson have published 10 trigonometric proofs of the Pythagorean theorem, a feat thought impossible for 2,000 years.

Two Louisiana high school students, Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson, have achieved a remarkable feat by proving the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry, an accomplishment long considered ...

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 ...

The three sides of a right-angled triangle have specific names. The hypotenuse (\(h\)) is the longest side. It is opposite the right angle. The opposite side (\(o\)) is opposite the angle in ...

Most trigonometry students look at triangles on a flat surface. However, people from ancient astronomers to modern navigators calculated the arc lengths and angles of triangles on a sphere. They used ...
