This math topic covers the application of the Pythagorean Theorem in 3D geometry, specifically focusing on calculating the distance from a specified point on a rectangular prism or cube to the midpoint of an edge. The problems involve a variety of scenarios in which students must apply the theorem to find the hypotenuse (distance) in three dimensions, requiring insight into spatial geometry and critical thinking. This is part of an introductory unit on the Pythagorean Theorem applied to three-dimensional shapes.
