Math.hypot() — Unit Diagonal

📖 Usage Example

// Euclidean distance / hypotenuse
Math.hypot(3, 4)   // → 5
Math.hypot(5, 12)  // → 13

Use Math.hypot() to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle or Euclidean distance between points.

Math.hypot()

Returns the square root of the sum of squares of its arguments.

Challenge: Compute the diagonal of a unit square using Math.hypot(1, 1), which should equal √2.
