This math topic provides practice on applying the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of a side in a right triangle. Specifically, students are asked to solve for unknown sides ('a' or 'b') where all side lengths are integers. Each exercise involves solving an equation of the form \( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \) to find the missing side, with six questions focusing on this application. This helps solidify the foundational principles of the Pythagorean Theorem and strengthens skills in solving algebraic equations in a geometric context.
