Two high school seniors have presented their proof of the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry — which mathematicians thought to be impossible — at an American Mathematical Society meeting.

In a new peer-reviewed study, Ne'Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson outlined 10 ways to solve the Pythagorean theorem using trigonometry, including a proof they discovered in high school.

A groundbreaking new proof for Pythagoras’ Theorem? Two American high school students say they’ve discovered a trigonometric proof for the famous theorem, which many believe to be impossible.

The theorem is a fundamental law in the field of trigonometry, which essentially calculates the relationships between sides and angles of triangles.
