This math topic focuses on applying the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side of a right triangle, displayed in decimal form. Each problem presents a triangle with one side length missing, requiring the use of the theorem to solve for it. These problems serve as a practical application of understanding Pythagorean triples and their relationship within right-angled triangles.
