This math topic focuses on practicing the Pythagorean theorem by solving for the missing hypotenuse, denoted as 'c', in a right triangle using given side lengths 'a' and 'b'. Students apply the theorem to find the square root (radical) of the sum of the squares of the given side lengths, enhancing their foundational understanding of triangles and radicals. Each problem includes different values for 'a' and 'b,' and offers potential solutions for 'c', among which only one is correct based on Pythagoras' theorem. This topic helps strengthen students' skills in algebraic manipulation and applying geometric principles to find exact solutions.
