Most trigonometry students look at triangles on a flat surface. However, people from ancient astronomers to modern navigators calculated the arc lengths and angles of triangles on a sphere. They used ...
Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships between the sides and angles of triangles. Trigonometry is found all throughout geometry, as every straight-sided shape may be ...
I'm talking about trigonometry, of course: that bastion of angles and triangles that is essential to calculating velocity, momentum, and much more.
“Down with Euclid! Death to triangles!” Luckily, triangles survived nonetheless—and thrived. In “Love Triangle: How Trigonometry Shapes the World,” Matt Parker recounts, for instance ...
Learn about three trigonometric ratios in similar right-angled triangles with this BBC Bitesize Maths article. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.
A high school teacher didn't expect a solution when she set a 2,000-year-old Pythagorean Theorem problem in front of her students. Then Calcea Johnson and Ne'Kiya Jackson stepped up to the challenge.
Two high school students have proved the Pythagorean theorem in a way that one early 20th-century mathematician thought was impossible: using trigonometry. Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson ...
Some mathematicians argue that using trigonometry to independently prove the theorem is actually impossible, including Elisha Loomis, whose book on the topic (originally published almost a century ...
