This math topic centers on applying the Pythagorean theorem specifically to scenarios involving squares, where the task is to determine the side length of a square given the length of the diagonal from the center to a side. The problems involve calculating these side lengths using different values for the diagonal measurements (e.g., 8, 14, 11, 10, 13, 15, 16). Each problem requires using sqrt and power functions as shown in the answers, demonstrating applications of square roots and the basic principles of geometry and algebra related to right triangles within squares.
