Pythagorean Theorem - Variable-Named Sides to Square Root Equation (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on applying the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of a side in a right triangle. Each problem presents a different triangle with variable-named sides, requiring the learner to express the missing side length as a square root equation. The answers involve solving for the side using either addition or subtraction of the squares of the other two sides under a square root, illustrating the principles of the Pythagorean Theorem. This set of problems is part of an introductory unit on Pythagoras, emphasizing fundamental algebraic manipulations in geometry contexts.
