Problem #23

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).
  • <cmath> is included to use sqrt() and pow() for mathematical calculations.
  • using namespace std; allows the use of standard functions without prefixing them with std::.

2. User Input Function (ReadTriangleData)

  • Uses reference parameters (float &A, float &B, float &C) to modify the values directly.
  • Prompts the user to enter the three sides of a triangle.

3. Area Calculation Function (CircleAreaByATriangle)

  • Takes the three sides (A, B, C) as input.
  • Computes the semi-perimeter (P) using:

  • Computes the radius (T) of the inscribed circle using the formula:

  • Computes the circle area using:

float Area = PI * pow(T, 2);

    • pow(T, 2) calculates .
    • PI is defined as 3.141592653589793238 for precise calculations.
  • Returns the computed area.

4. Output Function (PrintResult)

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

5. Program Execution (main())

  • Calls ReadTriangleData() to get user input.
  • Calls CircleAreaByATriangle() to compute the inscribed circle's area.
  • Calls PrintResult() to display the result.
  • Returns 0 to indicate successful execution.

This structured explanation ensures clarity and ease of understanding.
