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

For centuries, mathematicians have sought various ways to prove this theorem using algebra and geometry. However, attempts to approach it through trigonometry were often deemed impossible.

Many mathematicians over the years have explained why the theorem works using algebra and geometry. In contrast, Jackson and Johnson were able to prove it using trigonometry — a subbranch of ...
