The Pythagorean theorem, a cornerstone of mathematics for millennia, provides a method for determining unknown sides in right-angled triangles using the formula a² + b² = c². Its applications extend ...

In a quiet but significant shift, the Class 8 NCERT mathematics textbook has now introduced it as the Baudhayana-Pythagoras Theorem, tracing its origins in ancient Indian mathematical texts. The ...

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 ...

NCERT’s new Class 8 maths book now calls it the Baudhayana–Pythagoras Theorem, crediting ancient Indian scholar Baudhayana.

The shape ABCDEFGH is a cuboid. Length AB is 6 cm, length BG is 3 cm and length FG is 2 cm. Calculate the length AF. Draw the right-angled triangle ACF and label the ...

The most important theorem we learnt in childhood carries the name of a Greek philosopher, but not necessarily the legacy.

Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson from Louisiana blew the math community away when they presented a solution to the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry, an impossible feat for 2,000 years. They ...

Two years ago, a couple of high school classmates each composed a mathematical marvel, a trigonometric proof of the Pythagorean theorem. Now, they’re unveiling 10 more. For over 2,000 years, such ...

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 ...

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, ...
