How to compute the hypotenuse h of the triangle in JavaScript

Answer 1

// Legs of the triangle
let a = 7;
let b = 5;

// Method 1: Using Math.sqrt and Math.pow
let h1 = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(a, 2) + Math.pow(b, 2));
console.log("The hypotenuse (h) is: " + h1.toFixed(6));

// Method 2: Using direct multiplication
let h2 = Math.sqrt(a * a + b * b);
console.log("The hypotenuse (h) is: " + h2.toFixed(6));

// Method 3: Using Math.hypot 
let h3 = Math.hypot(a, b);
console.log("The hypotenuse (h) is: " + h3.toFixed(6));



/*
run:

The hypotenuse (h) is: 8.602325
The hypotenuse (h) is: 8.602325
The hypotenuse (h) is: 8.602325
