The Pythagorean theorem, a cornerstone of mathematics for millennia, provides a method for determining unknown sides in right-angled triangles using the formula a² + b² = c². Its applications extend ...

For generations, Indian students have learnt it simply as the Pythagoras Theorem. In a quiet but significant shift, the Class ...

This is for the first time that the Baudhāyana–Pythagoras Theorem has been introduced in Class 8 NCERT Math textbook.

If the sides of the right-angled triangle are labelled 𝑎, 𝑏 and 𝑐 then Pythagoras' theorem can be written as the formula 𝑎² + 𝑏² = 𝑐². Pythagoras' theorem can be used to find the length of line ...

a 2 + b 2 = c 2. Remember that from high school math class? That's the Pythagorean theorem, which shows that in a right triangle, where the shorter legs are a and b, the sum of their squares is equal ...

The textbook uses examples from Indian monuments and cultural contexts to explain key concepts of the subject, including ...

NCERT’s new Class 8 maths book now calls it the Baudhayana–Pythagoras Theorem, crediting ancient Indian scholar Baudhayana.

Two years ago, a couple of high school classmates each composed a mathematical marvel, a trigonometric proof of the Pythagorean theorem. Now, they’re unveiling 10 more. For over 2,000 years, such ...

The Pythagorean Theorem is an ancient theory that states that in a right triangle, if the length of the hypotenuse is c, and the lengths of the two sides that sandwich the right angle are a and b, ...
