Question

Python Programming 4th Edition

Write a program that calculates the length of a right triangle's hypotenuse.

Hints:

Define main() program

Get the length of the triangle’s two sides (user input)

Call math function to calculate the length of the hypotenuse.

The output should look like as follows:

The length of the hypotenuse is 12.041594578792296

Answer 1

import math
# Define main() program
def main():
    # Get the length of the triangle’s two sides (user input)
    side1 = eval(input("Enter length of side1: "))
    side2 = eval(input("Enter length of side2: "))
    # Call math function to calculate the length of the hypotenuse.
    hypotenuse = math.sqrt(math.pow(side1,2)+math.pow(side2,2))
    # The output 
    print("The length of the hypotenuse is",hypotenuse)

# Making call to main() function
main()
