Method name:
hypot(aPointX_in, aPointY_in)
Method overview:
hypot() function from the math module of python, calculates and returns the Euclidian Distance
between the origin(0,0) and a specified point. The value returned is also called as the
Euclidian Norm.
It is square root of the sume of the two values: Square of X coordinate value and Square Y coordinate value.
Parameters:
aPointX_in : X coordinate value
aPointY_in : Y coordinate value
Return value:
The distance from origin to the point at location(x,y)
Example:
|
import math
PointA = (5,5) #A point tuple distance = round(math.hypot(PointA[0],PointA[1]),2) print("Euclidian distance between origin and PointA:{}".format(distance))
#Find the X Intercept distance of a point XIntercept = (7,0) #A point that falls exactly on X axis XInterceptDistance = math.hypot(XIntercept[0],XIntercept[1]) print("Euclidian distance between origin and X Intercept:{}".format(XInterceptDistance))
#Find the Y Intercept distance of a point YIntercept = (0,5) #A point that falls exactly on Y axis YInterceptDistance = math.hypot(YIntercept[0],YIntercept[1]) print("Euclidian distance between origin and Y Intercept:{}".format(YInterceptDistance)) |
Output:

Euclidian distance between origin and PointA:7.07 Euclidian distance between origin and X Intercept:7.0 Euclidian distance between origin and Y Intercept:5.0 |
