This math topic practices solving for missing lengths in right triangles using the Pythagorean theorem. Specifically, it focuses on isolating and calculating the radical (square root) values of sides given the sum of the squares of the other two sides in a right triangle equation format. The problems presented in varying complexity levels provide multiple-choice answers, which require students to select the correct radical value after calculating from rearranged Pythagorean equations. This forms part of introductory concepts to understanding Pythagoras' theorem.
