This math topic focuses on applying the Pythagorean Theorem in three-dimensional contexts to solve problems with prisms, specifically finding the depth. The specific skill practiced is determining the depth when given the hypotenuse to the midpoint of a prism's edge (half depth). Each problem provides different numerical scenarios to help understand the relationship between the hypotenuse and depth dimensions in three dimensions. Scenarios are presented where the hypotenuse value varies, and multiple-choice answers are provided to evaluate the depth.
