I dont know where im going wrong with the code

adj = 20; % ft
opp = 200; % ft
% pythagorus formula a^2+b^2=c^2
c^2 = adj^2+opp^2;
c^2 = sqrt(ans)

Answer 1

The left-hand side should be the variable alone. Change that to

c = sqrt(adj^2 + opp^2)

c^2 cannot be the variable name as it has mathematical operator, on the other hand, c2 is a valid variable name.
