Pythagorus Theorem

 I suppose everybody has already familiar with the above Theorem. However, some of you kids may not have learned this theorem yet. So, let me list the formula here. By referring to a right angled triangle below, if the sides are AB, AC and AC respectively, where AC  is the hypotenuse, then AB,AC and BC are connected by the formula      AB²+AC²=BC² 

Using the above formula, you can calculate the third side if the the length of any two sides are know. For example, if AB=4 and AC=3 then BC=5. I have designed the VB program for the user to input any two sides and then he/she is able to calculate the third side automatically. I also used the function Round to round the values to two decimal places. The code is shown on the right.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim AB, AC, BC As Single
AB = Val(Txt_AB.Text)
AC = Val(Txt_AC.Text)
BC = Val(Txt_BC.Text)
If AB <> 0 And AC <> 0 Then
BC = Sqr(AB ^ 2 + AC ^ 2)
Txt_BC.Text = Round(BC, 2)
ElseIf AB <> 0 And BC <> 0 Then
AC = Sqr(BC ^ 2 - AB ^ 2)
Txt_AC.Text = Round(AC, 2)
ElseIf AC <> 0 And BC <> 0 Then
AB = Sqr(BC ^ 2 - AC ^ 2)
Txt_AB.Text = Round(AB, 2)
End If
End Sub
