In 8th Grade, Pythagorean Theorem is an essential part of triangle theorems and its application is very useful to solve real-world problems. Students learn how to identify the legs and hypotenuse from a word problem and then find the missing side of a right triangle by using the Pythagorean Theorem. "Find a missing side length of right triangles Quiz" is a great...
