This math topic focuses on applying the Pythagorean theorem, specifically identifying Pythagorean triples and calculating the length of the hypotenuse or a leg in a right triangle. Each problem presents triangles with labelled sides, requiring participants to calculate the length of the missing side using the relationship \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\). Students will determine these values and convert their answers into decimal form, reinforcing their understanding of geometry and algebra in the process.
