This math topic focuses on applying the Pythagorean theorem in three dimensions, particularly related to prisms. The problems involve determining one dimension of a prism (the depth) while knowing the hypotenuse distance between two points (A to B). This topic requires understanding and manipulating the three-dimensional Pythagorean theorem to solve for the missing dimension given the total distance between two diagonal endpoints. Each question presents a different distance and set of potential depths to further challenge problem-solving skills.
