JavaScript Math: Exercise-19 with Solution

Create a Pythagorean function in JavaScript.

Note : The Pythagorean Theorem tells us that the relationship in every right triangle is : c² = a² + b², where c is the hypotenuse and a, b are two legs of the triangle.

Test Data:
console.log(pythagorean_theorem(2, 4));
console.log(pythagorean_theorem(3, 4));
Output :
4.47213595499958
5

Sample Solution:-

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Pythagorean Theorem</title>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>

JavaScript Code:

function pythagorean_theorem(x, y) {
  if ((typeof x !== 'number') || (typeof y !== 'number')) 
return false; 
		return Math.sqrt(x * x + y * y);
	}

console.log(pythagorean_theorem(2, 4));
console.log(pythagorean_theorem(3, 4));

Sample Output:

4.47213595499958
