  1. 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.

    side1 = 3
    4
    side2 = 4
    5
    hypotenuse = math.hypot(side1,side2)
