Pythagorean Equation from Squares - Length of Hypotenuse (Decimal) (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on applying the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the length of the hypotenuse in right triangles, using decimal values. The problems present equations where the squares of the two shorter sides (legs) of the triangles are known, and students must determine the length of the hypotenuse (labeled as 'c'). Each question provides multiple choice answers, encouraging the application and practice of solving quadratic equations derived from the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse in varying scenarios. This forms the foundational knowledge of Pythagorean theorem principles.
