This math topic focuses on applying the Pythagorean Theorem in three-dimensional space, specifically within the context of a prism. Students are asked to solve for unknown dimensions, such as the depth, given the hypotenuse length between two points on the prism. This involves understanding how the theorem extends beyond two dimensions to calculate distances in three-dimensional geometry. The skill level is considered Level 2, requiring the ability to manipulate and solve equations derived from the Pythagorean Theorem in a three-dimensional space. This forms part of a broader unit introducing the Pythagorean Theorem in 3D.
