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 )

Nice piece, made one of these a while back, but this is more...structured.

You got burned. Feat owns you now...
I for one know *almost* nothing about Python but I would not need a special calculator to work out Pythagoras theorem.

Make it ask for 3 inputs, leg 1 leg 2 and hypotenuse, and find the value of the one with a "?" Input.
