Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson, high schoolers at St. Mary’s Academy, have proven Pythagoras’ Theorem without circular logic, according to WWL-TV. The mathematical discovery is said to have not been proven by mathematicians for 2,000 years.
“Calcea and Ne’Kiya explained it to me like this: Basically, trigonometry is based on Pythagoras’ Theorem (A^2 + B^2 = C^2, sound familiar?), so using trigonometry to prove Pythagoras’s Theorem is what’s known as circular logic,” the outlet’s reporter stated.
