Find the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle where perpendicular and base are known:
#Import math Library
import math
#set perpendicular and base
perpendicular = 10
base = 5
#print the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle
print(math.hypot(parendicular, base))
Try it Yourself » Definition and UsageThe math.hypot() method returns the Euclidean norm. The Euclidian norm is the distance from the origin to the coordinates given.
Prior Python 3.8, this method was used only to find the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle: sqrt(x*x + y*y).
From Python 3.8, this method is used to calculate the Euclidean norm as well. For n-dimensional cases, the coordinates passed are assumed to be like (x1, x2, x3, ..., xn). So Euclidean length from the origin is calculated by sqrt(x1*x1 + x2*x2 +x3*x3 .... xn*xn).
Syntaxmath.hypot(x1, x2, x3, ..., xn)
Parameter Values Parameter Description x1, x2, x3, ..., xn Required. Two or more points representing coordinates Technical Details Return Value: Afloat value, representing the Euclidean distance from the origin for n inputs, or hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle for two inputs Change Log: From 3.8: Also supports n-dimensional points. Earlier versions only support two-dimensional points More Examples Example
Find the Euclidean norm for the given points:
#Import math Library
import math
#print the Euclidean norm for the given points
print(math.hypot(10, 2, 4, 13))
print(math.hypot(4, 7, 8))
print(math.hypot(12, 14))
