This math topic focuses on using the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The problems specifically require finding the radical (square root) for the value of the hypotenuse labeled as 'c' in given equations. Each question presents an equation where the legs' squared values are summed, and students must determine the square root of this sum to solve for 'c'. Multiple choice answers are provided, promoting understanding of squaring and square roots in the context of the Pythagorean theorem. This is part of a broader unit on Pythagoras' foundations.
