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 usesqrt()
andpow()
for mathematical calculations.using namespace std;
allows the use of standard functions without prefixing them withstd::
.
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)
calculatesT²
.PI
is defined as3.141592653589793238
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.
