Question

Given a right triangle with sides of length A and B, the length of the hypotenuse C can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem.

right triangle

A2 + B2 = C2

Written another way, we can solve for length C by taking the square root as follows:

C = √(A2 + B2)

The program below asks the user to enter lengths for sides A and B. It should then calculate and display the length of the hypotenuse C using the Pythagorean theorem.

Use the math.pow() function to calculate A2.
Use the math.pow() function to calculate B2.
Use the math.sqrt() function to calculate the square root of A2 plus B2.
Print the result to the screen with the message "C = [result]".
You can declare any additional variables you need (if any) to implement your logic. The following examples demonstrate the expected program output.




Fix this

Answer 1

import math

A = float(input("Enter length of side A: "))
B = float(input("Enter length of side B: "))

A_squared = math.pow(A, 2)
B_squared = math.pow(B, 2)

C = math.sqrt(A_squared + B_squared)

print(f"C = {C}")
