Question

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle given the length of the two shorter sides. Be certain to use the square and square Root functions from the Gentle Introduction textbook. (You will need to change the square function to use floating point numbers though.) Ask he user if s/ he wants to keep entering data; if "Yes" then continue prompting and calculating Assume no sides are negative. Solving this might involve some research on your part! Use the following sample as a guide Enter side A: 3 Enter side B: 4 Side C is 5 Continue? yes Enter side A: 33 Enter side B: 44 Side C is 55 Continue no

Explanation / Answer

please refer below code

#include<iostream>
#include<cmath>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
string choice = "yes";
double A,B,C;

do
{
cout<<"Enter side A : ";
cin>>A;

cout<<" Enter side B : ";
cin>>B;

C = sqrt((A * A) + (B * B)); //using Pythagoras theorem
cout<<" Side C is "<<C<<endl;

cout<<"Continue? ";
cin>>choice;
}while(!choice.compare("yes")); //comparing with "yes" if equal then execute loop

return 0;
}

please refer below output

Enter side A : 3

Enter side B : 4

Side C is 5
Continue? yes
Enter side A : 33

Enter side B : 44

Side C is 55
Continue? no
