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.
I was going to say, I could have sworn someone else had done this before.
Still this just makes me wonder what we could accomplish if we could get everyone the quality of education private schools offer, but as a public system. Finland banned schools from charging fees, meaning they have the same solid level of education for everyone, and it clearly has benefitted them and decreased inequality.
So much wasted potential in our nations, it hurts to see it.
Doesn’t matter in the US. “Education” is so focused on job training that guidance counselors will think you’re mental if you’re more interested in education then min-maxing your (promised)income.
Stumped? This [theorem]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem) is a contender for most different proofs.
The article states nobody has ever found a proof for the Pythagorean theorem utilizing trigonometry before until these young ladies did.
No it doesn’t.
