This math topic focuses on practicing the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of missing sides in right triangles. The problems require calculating the missing side lengths expressed as decimal values. Each problem is presented with a visual diagram of a triangle, and students are asked to use the Pythagorean theorem, involving the relationship \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\), to resolve these problems. There are multiple such problems provided to reinforce understanding and application of this geometric principle.
