Pythagorean Equation from Squares - Either Missing Length (Squared Values)

This topic focuses on practicing the Pythagorean theorem, which asserts the relationship between the squares of the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. Students are asked to find missing sides in various configurations, by solving equations such as \( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \), where \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) typically represent the lengths of the triangle's sides. The goal is to deduce either \( a^2 \) or \( b^2 \) given the squared values of the other two sides. This skill forms a foundation for understanding geometric relations in two-dimensional spaces.
