This math topic focuses on the application of the Pythagorean Theorem to find the lengths of missing sides in right triangles, specifically the hypotenuse. The problems require expressing the lengths as square root values and utilize labeled sides. These exercises help enhance skills in identifying the sides of triangles, applying the theorem formula \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\), and simplifying radical expressions. The problems progress through a set of examples, providing solutions in radical form, thus deepening understanding of Pythagorean relationships and radical calculations.
