Ex.no:2e Area of a triangle
AIM:
To write a C program to find the area of a triangle given the length of three sides.
ALGORITHM:
Step 1: Start the program.
Step 2: Read the side lengths a, b and c.
Step 3 : Calculate area using the formula
area = √s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
where s = (a + b + c)/ 2
Step 4: Print the area.
Step 5: Stop the program.
PROGRAM CODE:
#include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> #include<math.h> void main() { float a,b,c, s, area; clrscr(); printf("nEnter the length of the three sides of the triangle:"); scanf("%f%f%f",&a,&b,&c); s=(a+b+c)/2; area=sqrt(s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)); printf("nArea of the Triangle :%.3f sq.meters",area); getch(); }
OUTPUT:
RESULT:
Thus the C program to find the area of a triangle is written and executed successfully.
