# Hypotenuse-calculator
The provided C++ code calculates the length of the hypotenuse (side C) of a right-angled triangle using the Pythagorean theorem. Here's a breakdown of the code:
1. Variable Declarations:
- `double a`: Holds the length of side A of the right-angled triangle.
- `double b`: Holds the length of side B of the right-angled triangle.
- `double c`: Will store the calculated length of side C (hypotenuse).
2. User Interaction:
- Prompts the user to enter the length of side A (`a`).
- Prompts the user to enter the length of side B (`b`).
3. Pythagorean Theorem Calculation:
- Uses the Pythagorean theorem \(c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\) to calculate the length of side C (`c`).
- `pow(a, 2)` calculates the square of `a`.
- `pow(b, 2)` calculates the square of `b`.
- `sqrt()` calculates the square root of the sum of the squares of `a` and `b`.
4. Output:
- Displays the calculated length of side C (`c`).
5. Return Statement:
- Returns 0 to indicate successful execution.
Overall, the code is a simple and straightforward implementation of the Pythagorean theorem for calculating the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle based on user input for the lengths of sides A and B.
