Ruby | Math hypot() function

The hypot() function in Ruby returns sqrt(l^2 + b^2) when l and b are given as parameters. It eventually returns the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle with sides l and b.

Syntax: Math.hypot(l, b)

Parameter: The function takes two mandatory parameter l and b which specifies the length and the base.
Return Value: The function returns the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle with sides l and b.

Example 1:

# Ruby program for hypot() function

# Assigning values
l1 = 3
b1 = 4

l2 = 12
b2 = 14

# Prints the hypot() value
puts Math.hypot(l1, b1)

puts Math.hypot(l2, b2)

Output:

5.0
18.439088914585774

Example 2:

# Ruby program for hypot() function

# Assigning values
l1 = 10
b1 = 5

l2 = 11
b2 = 20

# Prints the hypot() value
puts Math.hypot(l1, b1)

puts Math.hypot(l2, b2)

Output:

11.180339887498949
22.825424421026653
