Pythagorean Theorem - Either Missing Length - Labelled Sides (Equation) (Level 2)

This math topic focuses on applying the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the length of a missing side in various right triangle configurations. The problems require participants to form equations based on the Pythagorean theorem, \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\), to solve for different sides labeled as \(a\), \(b\), or \(c\), utilizing given triangle dimensions. Each question presents a different scenario to practice solving for either the hypotenuse or one of the legs, underpinning the essential concepts of the Pythagorean theorem as part of an introductory unit on Pythagoras.
