Python: Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean theorem is a formula that is used to solve the different sides of a right angle triangle. Here is an example of such a triangle:

If you know the value of two of the sides you can solve for the third using one of the following equations

Your task is to create a function that will solve for any side given two known sides.

Specifics

Your function should take three parameters: a floating point value for the first side, a floating point value for the second side, and a string to indicate the side to solve for. Your function should return a floating point value which holds the solved side.

For Example

a = 4.0 b = 2.0 c = pythag(a, b, 'c')

Notice the last parameter is a string which indicates the side to solve for. Suppose you want to solve for side a:

b = 4.0 c = 2.0 a = pythag(b, c, 'a')

Required

You must use the math.sqrt and math.pow functions to solve for the given side.

What not to do

global variables

print in the pythag function

input in the pythag function

Your program should look like the following:
