One of the most famous formulas in math is the Pythagorean theorem: all sides of a right triangle have a relationship a2 + b2 = c2 (a & b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse)
If you are given any two of the sides, you can find he remaining side.
Write a program where you…
a) find the hypotenuse given the two legs
or
b) find a leg, given the hypotenuse and the remaining leg.
The program will use an ‘if’ statement to select which calculation to perform.
First, ask the person to choose a type of calculation, like this…
The identifiers will all be doubles.
Have your ‘if’ like this…
if (choice==1)
{
do the calculation inside the braces
}
if (choice==2)
{
do the
other calculation here
}
“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and
leave a trail.
