This math topic provides practice with the Pythagorean theorem by asking students to find the length of missing sides in right triangles, expressed as square root values. The problems require students to apply the theorem \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\) to determine the unknown side, enhancing their understanding and computational skills with radicals in the context of geometry. Each question is accompanied by an image representation of a triangle with specific sides labeled, reinforcing visual learning and the application of theoretical mathematical concepts.
