Two New Orleans high school students make math discovery 2,000 years in the making 

Great job to the young ladies and the news station for covering the story.

Yeeessssss siiiiir congrats young ladies

They are so precious

RE: The 'Pythagorean' theorem: Wikipedia: Pythagoras. Wikipedia: Greek colonies in antiquity (c. 6th century BC).

So what did they find?? I want to see the math!

That's why I love Popeyes chicken from New Orleans. Sorry KFC

Welp here's the issue. Had it been anyone else, this would've gotten World recognition

You can use the Law of Sines with ANY and ALL proofs of the Pythagorean Theorems. SIn = Opposite/hypotenuse. Law of Sines: a/sin(a) = b/sin(b) = c/sin(c) For any Right triangle: a/sin(a) = a/(a/c) = c b/sin(b) = b/(b/c) = c c/sin(c) = c/(c/c) = c For any Right triangle: a/sin(a) = b/sin(b) = c/sin(c) = c Which means for any Right Triangle: (a/sin(a))^2 = (b/sin(b))^2 = (c/sin(c))^2 = c^2 THEREFORE for any right triangle: a^2 + b^2 = (a/sin(a))^2 = (b/sin(b))^2 = (c/sin(c))^2 = c^2
