Assuming that c is given, a and b would have to be determined first. Since x and z are expressed by a chain of expressions containing (a,b,c), this raises the question how you could find the values for (a,b) without relying on pythagoras's theorem in the first place. Ex ante, there is no way for you to know what the precise values for (a,b) are on which the values for (x,z) depend.

>>16162514
rather both

>>16162597
it's a proof for pytha. You don't need to know values. What you need to see is 2 ab/c^2 = sin 2 a AND 2 ab / (a^2 + b^2) .
Hats off to the two young ladies.
>>
>>16162645
>it's a proof for pytha.
No, it isn't. Calculating a series that expresses the hypothenuse and the adjacent based on the exact same geometric figure just inscribed does not solve the issue.
>2 ab/c^2 = sin 2 a AND 2 ab / (a^2 + b^2)
The sinus function, right. The sinus function that does not, in any way, already presume Pythagoras's theorem to be proven. We can simply assume things to be true while we're trying to prove them. Makes sense.

>just a convering pythagoras series

It's like saying a+b=c because 1/2(a+b)=1/2c

is there a link to their full argument/demonstration written out
>>
>>16162743
no, because they know the whole story would collapse if it was opened up to critical examination. and that's probably fine. it's not the girls' fault that this has reached such ridiculous lengths, it's academia's and the media's.

Since the law of sines is typically proven using areas, I wonder if you could eliminate its use and just use areas. Or just use the law of sines without considering area. The latter seems more like what the girls did.

You feel the need to attack some teens that discover their love for math, which means you feel like they are taking away something from you or as if your shitty life would be better if they didn't get their 5 mins of attention. Only an absolute loser would think like that. You think actually accomplished scientist react like you by trying to put them down with personal attacks?

I believe the whole roster does this, yes...only sometimes, so they all get out in different degrees of Satanism.

From "Out of control" Mikaku, a renegade for his own demons, or servile like Bill Nye...leering.

No one in their right mind takes this bullshit at face value. Therefore we may conjecture the motivation behind what appears to be a deliberate, well planned, and admittedly clever ploy.

Background: At regular intervals we see stories that honor black teens for "achieving" critical successes. Two popular ones you may recall involve the kid that "built" a computer, and the three African girls who created an electricity generator using urine as the fuel.
You will notice the subjects are always black. Not for example one of the many other ethnic groups such as Burmese, Peruvian, Iranian, or Malay, etc.

Theory 1. Some well intentioned liberal group in Education actively seeks to promote black achievements to inspire black students. There are few historical precedents so they invent new ones.

Theory 2. A group seeking to get its hands on fund money brings attention to these stories in an effort to justify more funding for technical development aimed at uplifting blacks. They will of course oversee the grants and take a huge slice of the pie in administration fees ( as do most charities ). They may actually have a direct role in manufacturing these stories or bring about their creation with prompting.

Theory 3. There is no overt direct agenda, these stories are simply journalistic clickbait designed to fill a niche readership market. ( Most likely theory in my opinion ). Typically they fall into one of three categories, "feel good" or "impending catastrophe" or "outrage" and are frequently the domain of tabloid tier news agencies.

Theory 4. These stories are just part of a wider noninformation program. Noninformation is the flooding of news channels with stories of trivial concern. Frequently they concern subjects which the general public has little or no knowledge about which makes it easier to pass them off as newsworthy. The intention here is to fill up space and displace other more important and perhaps controversial news from the public's attention.

I’ll admit that I’m a math retard but I really don’t get it. Why does this matter? Hasn’t Pythagoras’s theorem been proven? How does this build upon what we have and take us further?

Can it be proved if you use dark numbers?

It is widely thought that no other theorem in mathematics has had more valid proofs than the Pythagorean Theorem. Since the time of Euclid it has been proved over three hundred different ways. Not only did Euclid have his own proof, so did Albert Einstein and Presdent James A Garfield. I believe Ramanujan had his own proof. How long will it take to prove the Pythagorean Theorem? 2,300 years ago long. Yesterday long. It’s settled. It’s done.
