Visual Studio - Printf and Scanf

Create a function called area that calculates the area of a triangle. The function requires 2 parameters/arguments. The variables passed to the function are called base and height. To calculate the area multiply height times the base. In addition to the function add your code to both prompt for the values of area and height and base and then call the area function to display/print the area.

Answer 1

#include <stdio.h>

double area(double base, double height) {
    return 0.5 * base * height;
}

int main() {
    double base, height;
    printf("Enter base: ");
    scanf("%lf", &base);
    printf("Enter height: ");
    scanf("%lf", &height);
    printf("Area is %lf\n", area(base, height));
    return 0;
}
