C++ Area of Triangle

To calculate the area of a triangle in C++, you can use the following steps:

1. Define the variables for the base, height, and area of the triangle.
2. Prompt the user to input the values for the base and height of the triangle.
3. Calculate the area of the triangle using the formula: area = 0.5 base height.
4. Display the calculated area of the triangle.

Here's a sample code that demonstrates the calculation of the area of a triangle in C++:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
    float base, height, area;

    cout << "Enter the base of the triangle: ";
    cin >> base;

    cout << "Enter the height of the triangle: ";
    cin >> height;

    area = 0.5  base  height;

    cout << "The area of the triangle is: " << area << endl;

    return 0;
}

In this code, the variables base, height, and area are defined to store the input values and the calculated area of the triangle. The user is prompted to input the base and height of the triangle, and the area is then calculated using the formula area = 0.5 base height. Finally, the calculated area is displayed to the user.
