What is the functionality of the "hypot" option in the 'Math Function' block in Simulink?

The "Function" parameter in the 'Math Function' block has a function option called "hypot". I would like to know what this function does.

This bug has been fixed in Release 2007a (R2007a). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

The functions supported by 'Math Function' block are the standard MATLAB functions of the same name. The hypot function computes the length of the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle whose sides (that subtend the right angle) are given by the inputs to the 'Math Function' block.
