As far as I can see, you are incredibly close and only one single arithmetic operator is doing the "wrong" thing. Just look at your code again and keep in mind that you are looking for the "c" in a²+b²=c² (PS: On a syntactical level, there is no reason to switch back to Integer for the return-statement. On the contrary, the signature of the method demands a double output, so your last two lines should look something like

double result = SquareRootofSomething
return result;
