Now Jackson and Johnson, who started college last year, have notched another achievement: authoring an academic paper detailing their original proof — plus nine more. In contrast, Jackson and Johnson were able to prove it using trigonometry — a subbranch of mathematics that focuses on the study of triangles. Jackson and Johnson’s study outlines five new ways of proving the theorem using trigonometry, and their method reveals five more proofs for 10 total.
