Calculated formula for diagonal length.

[Anonymous]

I am trying to create a formula to calculate the diagonal length of the precast panel in wall schedule, but I am having trouble to come up with the correct synthax. This is how I am inputting it (Length^2+Height^2)^1/2, but coming up with wrong values. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

It should be:

sqrt(Length^2+Height^2)

Sounds like you want to calculate the length of the hypotenuse ("c") of a right triangle knowing only "a" and "b".

c = sqrt(a ^ 2 + b ^ 2)
