Problem #17

Solution Source Code

Code Overview

1. Header Files and Namespace:

  • <iostream> is included for input and output operations.
  • <string> is included for potential future use (not used in this program).
  • using namespace std; allows the use of standard functions without prefixing them with std::.

2. User Input Function (ReadNumbers)

  • Uses reference parameters (float &A, float &H) to modify the values directly.
  • Prompts the user to enter the base (A) and height (H) of a triangle.

3. Area Calculation Function (TriangleArea)

  • Takes the base (A) and height (H) as input.
  • Uses the standard formula for the area of a triangle:

  • However, the formula is implemented as:
float Area = (A / 2) * H;

  • This correctly computes the area.

4. Output Function (PrintResult)

  • Receives the computed area as a parameter.
  • Prints "Triangle Area = [Area]".

5. Program Execution (main())

  • Declares two float variables (A, H) to store base and height.
  • Calls ReadNumbers() to get user input.
  • Calls TriangleArea() to compute the area.
  • Calls PrintResult() to display the result.
  • Returns 0 to indicate successful execution.

This structured explanation ensures clarity and ease of understanding.
