Lots of press around the Pythagorean Theorem this week, hearing that high school teenagers Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson have a new proof based on (mostly) trigonometry! But I couldn’t find the proof. Here it is in <5 min and it’s super cool! http://tiktok.com/t/ZTRcqqYhJ/

New proof of the Pythagorean theorem! Not only that, it was the work of a couple high school students from New Orleans, Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson. Amazing! #pythagoras #pythagorastheorem #pythagoreantheorem #geometry #calculus #trigonometry #highschool #math #maths #mathematics

@shanselman Very impressive! Also, relieved that I can still remember enough mathematics to understand the proof!

@shanselman interestingly, I m getting the below error / if TikTok is censoring math then perhaps we should be worried? 😝😉

@CrashNBurns that’s weird, that might be happening before you got there, maybe in your mobile browser for the app that you’re putting on, try copying the URL manually
