Pythagorean Equation from Squares - Length of Hypotenuse (Radical)

Level 1

This math topic focuses on using the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle, expressed as a radical (square root). Each question presents a Pythagorean equation where learners must solve for the variable 'c', representing the hypotenuse, by first calculating the sum of squares of the other two sides and then determining the square root of this sum. Multiple choice answers are provided, testing the learner's ability to correctly apply the theorem and perform square root calculations.
