In this topic, students practice solving for missing lengths in 45-45-90 right triangles, specifically transitioning from the short sides to the hypotenuse. It falls under the broader unit of practicing Pythagorean theorem applications. Each problem presents a different triangle and requires the student to calculate either a numerical value or a symbolic expression for the missing length, refining their understanding of the specific properties of 45-45-90 triangles. This skill is essential for further studies in geometry and various real-world applications involving right triangles.
