Hi there! You forgot to tell it to use the System class. On the very first line of code you should have:

using System;

Here is some reference material from MSDN on the Math class which is contained within the System class.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

You could also save yourself from having another variable by instead doing...

return Math.Sqrt(legs1*legs1 + legs2*legs2);
