Contents: Description, Arguments, Usage, Examples, Sub-Functions, Related Functions, Source Supported Under Version: >1.00 Current .dvrc Version: 1.29 Description Pythagorean theorem - given lengths of hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle, return length of other leg. Arguments and Return Values Arguments: Two numeric arrays corresponding to the hypotenuse length and length of one leg of a right triangle (not required to be positive, as this function has applications beyond simple trigonometry). Note that the hypotenuse length (the greater value) must be the first input. Return Value: An array of numbers whose value corresponds to the length of the triangle's other leg; output is double if input is double, float otherwise If no arguments are input, leg() prints its description, as shown below. Usage Syntax: leg(x) 'x' - a numeric array (any format) Examples dv> leg() Pythagorean theorem - given hypotenuse and leg, find other leg leg(c,a) returns sqrt(c^2-a^2) Works for arrays S.Marshall 12-06-2007 0 dv> leg(5,4) 3.00000 dv> leg(4,5) nan dv> leg(5,4//3) 2x1x1 array of float, bsq format [8 bytes] 3.00000 4.00000
