Mastering Pythagoras: Hypotenuse in C Programming

Calculating the Hypotenuse: C Program for Right-Angled Triangles

Triangles are fascinating geometric shapes, especially when they are right-angled. In this blog post, we'll explore a simple C program that calculates the hypotenuse (side C) of a right-angled triangle when the lengths of sides A and B are known. Let's dive into the code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main() {
    double A;
    double B;
    double C;

    printf("Enter the length of side A: ");
    scanf("%lf", &A);

    printf("Enter the length of side B: ");
    scanf("%lf", &B);

    C = sqrt(A * A + B * B);

    printf("Length of side C (hypotenuse): %.3lf", C);

    return 0;
}
        

Copy and paste this C code into your preferred compiler, and you'll be able to calculate the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle with ease. Understanding the relationships between the sides of a triangle is a fundamental concept in geometry, and this program simplifies the process.

Feel free to experiment with different side lengths and explore the wonders of right-angled triangles using this C program. Happy coding!
