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

This math topic focuses on using the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle, where the values of the other two sides are given in decimal form. Students are asked to approximate the hypotenuse's value from a selection of multiple-choice answers. It cultivates skills in applying the theorem, performing calculations with squares and square roots, and handling decimal numbers. This is part of a foundational set of problems related to the broader concept of Pythagorean fundamentals.
