This math topic focuses on practicing the Pythagorean theorem, particularly in solving for the square of one side of a right triangle when given the lengths or value squares of the other two sides. The problems involve identifying the correct squared value of a side ('a', 'b', or 'c') using the given equations and listed multiple-choice answers. Participants use the foundational Pythagorean relationship \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\) to deduce the unknown squared side. Each question presents different triangle scenarios with various numerical setups, challenging students to apply the theorem accurately to find the missing measurements.
