Definition and UsageThe hypot() function calculates length of hypotenus of a right angled triangle. Hypoteneuse is calculated as per following formula −h=sqrt(x2+y2) where x and y are other two sides of a right angled triangleFor example, if x=3 and y=4, hypot(x, y)=5 which is equal to sqrt(32+42) = sqrt(25) =5This ...
