This math topic focuses on applying the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse or other sides of a right triangle. Each problem provides equations using the familiar Pythagorean format a² + b² = c², asking students to solve for the missing lengths either by direct calculation or by employing the theorem's square and square root principles in several variations. This skill is fundamental for understanding relationships within right triangles and lays the groundwork for broader concepts in geometry and Cartesian grid calculations.
