I can't use "from math import sqrt" on Visual Studio Code

Question

I'm new to this site, I'm recently trying to learn how to code in Python again, and now I'm doing an exercise that I could complete, but it's happening something that is annoying me. I can import math successfully, but somehow, VSCode just doesn't want to recognize "from math import sqrt". Here's my code so anyone can help me. Thank you.

import math  # (from math import sqrt would be here, but doesn't work so I put import math)

a = int(input('Digite o primeiro número: '))
b = int(input('Digite o segundo número: '))

c = a**2+b**2
resultado = math.sqrt(c)

print(f'O comprimento da hipotenusa é de {resultado}')

How do you know it doesn't work? See how to create a [mcve]. Edit the question. — Peter Wood, Sep 20 '21 at 07:07
Please show the full error message. I suspect you have called one of your own scripts "math.py" and now that gets imported. — Matthias, Sep 20 '21 at 07:08
I dont get any error trying to from math import sqrt, VSCode simply doesn't recognize, like it doesnt exist. — Lucca Monteiro, Sep 20 '21 at 07:19
Sorry guys, understand it wrong, Im not a native english speaker hahaha — Lucca Monteiro, Sep 20 '21 at 07:20
name 'math' is not defined File "C:\Users\Luchaos\Desktop\Programs\Scripts-Python\desafio17.py", line 7, in resultado = math.sqrt(c) — Lucca Monteiro, Sep 20 '21 at 07:20
if you do `from math import sqrt` then you have imported only `sqrt` and not `math`. So in this case `resultado = math.sqrt(c)` should be `resultado = sqrt(c)` instead. — Matthias, Sep 20 '21 at 07:22

Mathias answered it in the comments; thank you.

you dont need the math module, you can instead do:

c = (a**2+b**2)**0.5

as square rooting a number is equal to power it to 1/2.
