US Students Find New Proof For Pythagoras Theorem

A British daily newspaper, Guardian, has reported that two high school students from the United States have astonished by mathematics after they purported that they discovered another way to prove Pythagoras' Theorem with the use of trigonometry.

The Students And Their Theorem

The school’s announcement highlights that “their innovative lecture from the research is momentous. High School students are normally not lecturers at the American Mathematical Society Meeting.”

What Exactly is The Pythagoras Theorem?

Students over the world have understood the syllabary referring to the theory as a2+b2= c2. Although, mathematicians have worked a lot to find a final proof for the theorem which would not only demonstrate that it works but describe why it does. 

“It has been about 2000 years since trigonometry got discovered, it has often been preassumed that any reported proof of Pythagoras Theorem lied on Trignometry should be circular,” the students told people at the American Mathematical Society Southeastern Regional Conference. 

“In reality, in the book consisting of the biggest known cumulation of proofs (The Pythagorean Proposition by Elisha Loomis), the author normally says that ‘There is no proof from Trignometry due to the basic formulae of trigonometry are themselves lied on the truth of the Pythagorean Theorem’

The Student's Abstract

But it is not simply real, “the students wrote in the abstract. We give a new proof of Pythagoras’s Theorem which is lied on a basic result of trigonometry, the Law of Sines, and we demonstrate that the proof is not dependent on the Pythagorean trig recognition sin2x+cos2x=1.

Although, the discovery has not been acknowledged in a peer-reviewed journal. As per Live Science, it is still too early to say if their proof will eventually hold up.
