hypot()¶
hypot() is a PHP native function, that computes the length of the hypotenuse on a right triangle, given the length of the two other sides.
hypot() is the same as calculating sqrt(pow($a, 2) + pow($b, 2)) or sqrt($a ** 2 + $b ** 2). It is also the length of a segment from the origin to a point of coordinates ($a, $b).
<?php
$x = 3;
$y = 4;
var_dump(hypot($x, $y));
?>
