This math topic focuses on utilizing the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing length (denoted as 'c') in various mathematical equations expressed in decimals. The problems involve identifying the value of 'c' from the sum of the squares of the other two sides of a right triangle. Each question provides multiple choices for the answer, challenging participants to calculate or approximate the correct square root of the resulted sum. This forms part of a foundational unit on Pythagoras, aimed at enhancing understanding and application of this classic geometric theorem.
