In an astonishing breakthrough, two young students from Louisiana have done what many thought was impossible: proving Pythagoras’ theorem using only trigonometry. Their discovery has rocked the world of mathematics and sparked new discussions on fundamental geometric principles.
A Theorem Tested Through Time
For over 2,000 years, Pythagoras’ theorem has stood as one of the cornerstones of mathematics. It states that in a right-angled triangle, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides equals the square of the hypotenuse. Despite thousands of proofs—ranging from Euclid to modern algebraic approaches—it was widely believed that a purely trigonometric proof was impossible.
