calculate py in python

To calculate the length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle in python (also known as py), you can use the following formula based on the famous Pythagorean theorem:

py = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)

Where a and b are the lengths of the other two sides of the triangle.

To implement this formula in python, you can use the sqrt() function from the math module to calculate the square root of the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Here's the code:

main.py
import math

a = 3
b = 4

py = math.sqrt(a**2 + b**2)

print(py)
65 chars
9 lines

In this example, a is assigned the value 3 and b is assigned the value 4. The ** operator is used to raise a and b to the power of 2. The math.sqrt() function is then called with the sum of the squares of a and b as the argument. The result, 5.0, is then printed to the console.
