This math topic focuses on applying the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse or a missing side in right-angled triangles. Each problem presents a different triangle with two side lengths provided, requiring the solution of the missing side length using the theorem. Various equations combining squares and square roots of the given lengths are provided as potential answers, illustrating different algebraic manipulations related to the theorem's application. This allows for an emphasis on understanding and correctly applying the formula \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\) in various contexts.
