Their presentation showcased a new way to prove the Pythagorean Theorem using trigonometry without circular logic. This method is something mathematicians have been trying to do for nearly 2,000 years.
“In our lecture, we present a new proof of Pythagoras’s Theorem, which is based on a fundamental result in trigonometry — the Law of Sines — and we show that the proof is independent of the Pythagorean trig identity sin^2x + cos^2x = 1,” they wrote, The Black Wall Street reported.
