Question

How to compute the hypotenuse h of the triangle in Swift

Answer 1

import Foundation

let a = 7.0
let b = 5.0

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

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

// Method 3: Using hypot() (recommended for accuracy)
let h3 = hypot(a, b)
print(String(format: "The hypotenuse (h) is: %.6f", h3))



/*
run:

The hypotenuse (h) is: 8.602325
The hypotenuse (h) is: 8.602325
The hypotenuse (h) is: 8.602325
