Python code for Pythagorean theorem 

# Pythagorean theorem

def pythagorean_theorem(a, b):

    """

    Calculates the length of the hypotenuse (c) of a right triangle

    given the lengths of the other two sides (a and b) using

    Pythagorean theorem: c^2 = a^2 + b^2

    """

    c = (a**2 + b**2) ** 0.5

    return c

# Example usage

a = 3

b = 4

c = pythagorean_theorem(a, b)

print(f"The length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle with sides {a} and {b} is {c}")

The pythagorean_theorem function takes in two parameters a and b which represent the lengths of the two shorter sides of a right triangle. It calculates the length of the hypotenuse c using the Pythagorean theorem and returns the result. The example usage demonstrates how to use the function to calculate the length of the hypotenuse for a right triangle with sides of length 3 and 4.
