This math topic focuses on utilizing the Pythagorean Theorem to find missing side lengths of triangles, specifically applying decimal calculations. Each problem provides a triangle with sides labeled in decimal values, and students are tasked with calculating the unknown side using the formula \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\), where \(c\) represents the hypotenuse when applicable. This introductory level of problems enhances understanding of the Pythagorean relationship and strengthens skills in working with squares and square roots in the context of geometry.
