Bad.
Code:
ans = math.sqrt(leg1**2 + leg2**2)
print( str(ans) + " is the length of the hypotenuse.");Good.
Don't create unnecessary variables.
Use operators that make it easy to understand what it is you are doing( in my code, it is immediately clear that I am getting the square root of the sum of leg1 squared and leg2 squared )
