This math topic centers on applying the Pythagorean theorem, specifically solving for the missing side of a right triangle when the other sides' values are given as integers. Various problems involve substituting squared values into the Pythagorean equation to find the unknown side, labeled either 'a' or 'b'. In each equation, students are presented with several possible integer solutions to select from, testing their ability to rearrange and solve quadratic equations correctly. This set of problems helps reinforce foundational geometry and algebra skills associated with Pythagoras' theorem.
