This math topic focuses on applying the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse of a right triangle, expressing the results in radical form. Each problem gives the values for legs \(a\) and \(b\), and students must calculate the length of hypotenuse \(c\) by finding the square root of the sum of the squares of \(a\) and \(b\). Various questions provide different sets of numerical values for \(a\) and \(b\), requiring learners to compute \(c\) as a radical expression, with multiple-choice format for answers. This forms a fundamental part of understanding the principles of the Pythagorean theorem in geometry.
