This math topic involves practicing calculations using the Pythagorean theorem, specifically determining the length of a missing side in a right triangle. Students are presented with multiple problems where they need to apply \( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \) to find the length of sides labeled in decimals. Each question provides a visual representation of triangles with some sides labeled, allowing learners to identify and solve for the missing sides based on given values. The topic reinforces understanding of Pythagorean triples and the practical application of the Pythagorean theorem in a calculation-intensive context.
