# Function hypot Calculate the hypotenusa of a list with values. The hypotenusa is defined as: hypot(a, b, c, ...) = sqrt(a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + ...) For matrix input, the hypotenusa is calculated for all values in the matrix. ## Syntax ```js math.hypot(a, b, ...) math.hypot([a, b, c, ...]) ``` ### Parameters Parameter | Type | Description --------- | ---- | ----------- `args` | ... number | BigNumber | Array | Matrix | A list with numeric values or an Array or Matrix. Matrix and Array input is flattened and returns a single number for the whole matrix. ### Returns Type | Description ---- | ----------- number | BigNumber | Returns the hypothenusa of the input values. ## Examples ```js math.hypot(3, 4) // 5 math.hypot(3, 4, 5) // 7.0710678118654755 math.hypot([3, 4, 5]) // 7.0710678118654755 math.hypot(-2) // 2 ``` ## See also [abs](abs.md), [norm](norm.md)
