syntax
Math.hypot(arg1, arg2,....);
Example
In the following example, sides of a right-angle triangle are passed to find the hypotenuse. If any value is can't be converted to a number then NaN will be displayed as output.
<html> <body> <script> document.write(Math.hypot(7, 24)); document.write("</br>"); document.write(Math.hypot(7, "hi")); </script> </body> </html>
Output
25 NaN
This method even accepts negative values as arguments and tries to give the square root of some of their squares as output.
