Python Program to find area of triangle

Program

base = int(input("Enter the base of the triangle:\t"))
height = int(input("Enter the height of the triangle:\t"))
area = 0.5 * base * height
print("The area of triangle is: {0}".format(area))

This program calculates the area of a triangle using the formula:
[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height} ]

base = int(input("Enter the base of the triangle:\t"))
height = int(input("Enter the height of the triangle:\t"))

• User inputs the base and height of the triangle.
• input() function takes user input as a string.
• int() converts the input into an integer.

area = 0.5 * base * height

• Uses the formula for the area of a triangle:
  [
  \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height} ]
• Stores the computed area in the variable area.

print("The area of triangle is: {0}".format(area))

• Uses print() to display the computed area using string formatting.

Example Execution:

Case 1: Base = 10, Height = 5

User Input:

Enter the base of the triangle: 10
Enter the height of the triangle: 5

Calculation:
[
\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 5 = \frac{50}{2} = 25 ] Output:

The area of triangle is: 25.0

Case 2: Base = 6, Height = 12

User Input:

Enter the base of the triangle: 6
Enter the height of the triangle: 12

Calculation:
[
\frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 12 = \frac{72}{2} = 36 ] Output:

The area of triangle is: 36.0

Key Takeaways:

1. Uses the standard formula for the area of a triangle.
2. Accepts user input for base and height.
3. Displays output with string formatting using format().

Output

Enter the base of the triangle:	6
Enter the height of the triangle:	7
The area of triangle is: 21.0
