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.

Formula triangles can be used to help with rearranging the equation, but it is important that the algebraic method for rearranging is understood. Note that scientific calculators need to be used ...

In contrast, Jackson and Johnson were able to prove it using trigonometry — a subbranch of mathematics that focuses on the study of triangles ... and their method reveals five more proofs ...

However, the researchers' new method, known as the Triangle-Densest-k-Subgraph problem, goes a step further by looking at triangles of connections -- groups of three points where each pair is linked.

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that ... in the context of a triangle's right angle, and they can be presented ...
