Practicing with the Pythagorean Theorem in C++:
Learn to write a program that uses the Pythagorean theorem with ease. Most calculators can't do it but you can create a console application that does. It's simple, great practice for beginners, but still a bit more complex than the old yard to feet conversion tool. Uses Visual Studio 2008 C++ and estimated time to finish is just a few minutes.
#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
float a, b, c;
cout << "Please input the values of a and b: ";
cin >> a >> b;
c = a*a + b*b;
c = sqrt(c);
cout << "The hypotenuse is: " << c << '.' << endl;
system("pause");
}
