This math topic focuses on utilizing the Pythagorean theorem to determine the length of the hypotenuse given the lengths of the other two sides. The specific skill practiced here involves calculating the squared value of the hypotenuse (c²) when given the squared values of the other two sides (a² and b²). Students are provided with various problem scenarios where they need to apply the equation a² + b² = c², select the correct solution from multiple choices, and thereby enhance their understanding of foundational Pythagorean concepts.
