Question

Write a c program to calculate the area of a triangle using 1/2 * base * height.

Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

    // Declare variables to store user input

    double base, height;

    // Prompt the user to enter the base of the triangle

    printf("Enter the base of the triangle: ");

    scanf("%lf", &base);

    // Prompt the user to enter the height of the triangle

    printf("Enter the height of the triangle: ");

    scanf("%lf", &height);

    // Calculate the area of the triangle

    double area = 0.5 * base * height;

    // Display the result

    printf("Area of the triangle: %lf\n", area);

    return 0;

}
