The document discusses the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs. It provides instructions for students to label the parts of right triangles, explore interactive resources on the theorem, and practice solving for missing sides using the relationship between the legs and hypotenuse.
