=SUMSQ(3, 4) returns 25. =SUMSQ(A1:A4) adds the squares of the numbers in cells A1, A2, A3, and A4. =SUMSQ(A1:D4) adds the squares of the 16 numbers in a square collection of cells A1:D4. =SUMSQ(A1:A4, 100) adds the squares of the numbers in cells A1, A2, A3, and A4 and the number 100. =SQRT(SUMSQ(3, 4)) returns 5, using the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse of a triangle with sides 3 and 4. |
