Given double variables a and b that contain the lengths of the two short sides of a right triangle, write a statement that uses the methods of the Math class to calculate the length of the third side. Save the result in a new double variable named c.

double c = Math. sqrt ((Math. pow (a, 2)) + Math. pow (b, 2));

Explanation:

given that a and b = two short sides of the right-angles triangle

c = hypothenus

Since the pythogoras theorem says the length of the hypothenus is equal to the square root of the sum of squares of the two other sides

A complete java code using methods from the Java Maths Class (Power and Square root) is given below

public class StringLength {

public static void main (String[] args) {

double a = 5;

double b = 7;

double c = Math. sqrt ((Math. pow (a, 2)) + Math. pow (b, 2));

System. out. println ("The Length of the Third Side (The Hypothenus) is " + c);

}

}
