a 2 + b 2 = c 2. Remember that from high school math class? That's the Pythagorean theorem, which shows that in a right triangle, where the shorter legs are a and b, the sum of their squares is equal ...

The earliest known evidence for the Pythagorean Theorem comes from an ancient clay tablet called, “IM 67118.” This tablet uses the theorem to determine the length of a diagonal within a rectangle, and ...

The Pythagorean Theorem is an ancient theory that states that in a right triangle, if the length of the hypotenuse is c, and the lengths of the two sides that sandwich the right angle are a and b, ...

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 ...

*The Pythagorean theorem has baffled academics for 2,000 years but two high school students from New Orleans have reportedly solved the impossible. The students from St. Mary’s Academy presented their ...

You might think that once a theorem has been proved that would be the end of it. I mean, is there possibly any value in having another proof of something? A new proof certainly doesn't make a theorem ...
