This math topic focuses on using the Pythagorean theorem to determine the squared length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle. Students practice calculating the result of summed squared values of the other two sides to find the squared length of the hypotenuse. The problems present various combinations of squared legs (e.g., \( 5^2 + 3^2 \)), and students choose the correct squared value of the hypotenuse from multiple choices. This set of problems is foundational in understanding the properties of right triangles and is valuable in building skills for geometric proofs and applications.
