Innovative Proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem

Two high school students made headlines by solving the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry, which was once deemed impossible. Kelsey Johnson and Nakia Jackson published their work, titled 'Five Proofs and a Method for Finding at Least Five More', in a notable mathematics journal. This breakthrough not only showcases their mathematical prowess but also highlights the potential for young minds to challenge established norms in mathematics. Both students, now in college, encourage their peers to persevere and finish what they start, reflecting on the support from their families throughout their journey.
