These Grade 8 Math practice tests cover right triangles, missing side lengths, square roots, exact radical answers, coordinate distance, the converse of the theorem, and real-world applications.
Label the hypotenuse first, substitute the known lengths, solve for the missing side, and check that the hypotenuse is the longest side. Keep exact radical forms when a decimal is not requested.
