Question

How to compute the hypotenuse h of the triangle in Kotlin

Answer 1

import kotlin.math.sqrt
import kotlin.math.pow
import kotlin.math.hypot

fun main() {
    val a = 7.0
    val b = 5.0

    // Method 1: Using sqrt and pow
    val h1 = sqrt(a.pow(2) + b.pow(2))
    println("The hypotenuse (h) is: %.6f".format(h1))

    // Method 2: Using direct multiplication
    val h2 = sqrt(a * a + b * b)
    println("The hypotenuse (h) is: %.6f".format(h2))

    // Method 3: Using hypot (cleanest approach)
    val h3 = hypot(a, b)
    println("The hypotenuse (h) is: %.6f".format(h3))
}

 
  
/*
run:
  
The hypotenuse (h) is: 8.602325
The hypotenuse (h) is: 8.602325
The hypotenuse (h) is: 8.602325
