Write a program in java to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle using Py

Question

Write a program in java to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle using Pythagoras theorem. You must write a method to do this i.e., the computation should be done inside a method. Prompt the user to enter the base and the height of a right triangle. In the output, show the hypotenuse of the triangle. You should pass the base and height as parameters to your method and your method should return the hypotenuse.

Example:
This is a program to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
Please enter the base: (user enters 3)
Please enter the height: (user enters 4)
The hypotenuse of this right angled triangle with base 3 and height 4 is 5.000
The output should be a double value.

Explanation / Answer

please rate - thanks

import java.util.*;
public class main
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{ int base,height;
double hypot;
Scanner in=new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("This is a program to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle.");
System.out.print("Please enter the base: ");
base=in.nextInt();
System.out.print("Please enter the height: ");
height=in.nextInt();
hypot=hypotenus(base,height);
System.out.println("The hypotenuse of this right angled triangle with base "+base+" and height "+height+" is "+hypot);
}
public static double hypotenus(int base, int height)
{return Math.sqrt((double)base*base+height*height);
}
    }
