NumPy - hypot() function

The NumPy hypot() function returns the hypotenuse of the right triangle using its legs from the arguments, element-wise. It is equivalent to sqrt(x1**2 + x2**2).

Syntax

numpy.hypot(x1, x2, out=None)

Parameters

`x1, x2`	`Required.` Specify legs of the triangle. If x1.shape != x2.shape, they must be broadcastable to a common shape.
`out`	`Optional.` Specify a location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned.

Return Value

Returns the hypotenuse of the triangle, element-wise.

Example:

The example below shows the usage of hypot() function.

import numpy as np
Arr1 = np.array([[3,5],[7,15]])
Arr2 = np.array([[4,12],[24,20]])

print("Arr1 is:")
print(Arr1)

print("\nArr2 is:")
print(Arr2)

#calculating hypotenuse
print("\nHypotenuse is:")
print(np.hypot(Arr1, Arr2))

The output of the above code will be:

Arr1 is:
[[ 3  5]
 [ 7 15]]

Arr2 is:
[[ 4 12]
 [24 20]]

Hypotenuse is:
[[ 5. 13.]
 [25. 25.]]
