The Pythagorean Theorem tells us that the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is related to the lengths of the other two sides. Look through the math module and see if you can find a function that will compute this relationship for you. Once you find it, write a short program to try it out.

import math side1 = 3 side2 = 4 hypotenuse = math.hypot(side1,side2) print(hypotenuse)
