Question

(Hypotenuse) Define a function hypotenuse that calculates the length of the hypotenuse of a right
triangle when the other two sides are given. Use this function in a program to determine the length of
the hypotenuse for each of the triangles shown below. The function should take two double
arguments and return the hypotenuse as a double.

Sample output
Enter 2 sides of right triangle: 3.0 4.0
Hypotenuse: 5.0
Enter 2 sides of right triangle: 5.0 12.0
Hypotenuse: 13.0
Enter 2 sides of right triangle: 8.0 15.0
Hypotenuse: 17.0

Expert Solution

Explaination

We can easily solve the problem . As the programming language is not mentioned in the question as per our policy i am solving this in the c++ programming language

Here is the approcach:-

First create function which take two parameters side 1 and side 2 of the triangle
Then inside function defination create one variable to store the hypotenuse
First multiply side1 by side 1 iteself to calculate the square of side 1 and do the same with side 2 also
Then add the squares of both and store that to hypo
Then we need to take the square root of the value hence use the cmath library in cpp
Import the cmath in the header file list and use sqrt() function to take the square root of the hypotenuse and then return the value of the hypotenuse
In the main create three variables two for two sides and one for hypo
Then take the input for both the variables and then call the function with the same values and store them to hypo as the result
Finally print the result i.e hypo
