The hypot()
function in Ruby returns the hypotenuse
of a right-angled triangle from its length
and base
, which are sent as parameters.
The mathematical formula to calculate the hypotenuse from length
and base
is as follows:
hypotenuse = sqrt( length^2 + base^2 )
Figure 1 shows the visual representation of the hypot()
function.
This function requires the
Math
module.
hypot(length, base)
This function requires length
and base
as parameters.
This function returns the hypotenuse
of the right-angled triangle from its length
and base
, which are sent as parameters.
