Pythagorean Triples (Scaled) - Length of Side (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on applying the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of missing sides in right triangles. Specifically, it practices calculating side lengths when provided with visuals of triangles and a set of potential decimal values as answers. Each question requires determining the correct side length using the relationship between the squares of the sides in Pythagorean triples, scaled to varying sizes. The topic includes multiple choices for each problem to verify the understanding of using Pythagoras’ theorem in different scenarios.
