Area of Triangle Program in C Language
Introduction:
In this article, We are going to look at the Area of Triangle Program in C Language.
Most of us already know, What is a triangle and the formula to calculate the area of the triangle. Here is the area formula.
Area of Triangle Formula:
Area = ½ × b × h
Where b = Base and h = Vertical Height
Area of Triangle Program Algorithm:
- The Program should accept the two integer values from the user and store them as the Height and Base of Triangle.
- Then We are going to apply the above Area formula ( 1/2 * Height * Base ) or ( 0.5 * Height * Base ) on the given numbers.
- Which gives us the Area of the triangle. Display the result onto the console.

/* Write a c program to find the area of any triangle */ #include <stdio.h> int main() { // Create variables to store 'height', 'base' and 'area' int height, base, area; // Take the User input for 'Height' and 'base' and // Store them in 'height' and "base" variables. printf("Enter the height and base of the triangle : "); scanf("%d%d", &height, &base); // Apply the Area of Traignel Formula on given 'height' and 'base' values // The Area formula is '1/2 * height * base' // Which is equal to '0.5 * height * base' // Store the result into the 'area' variable area = 0.5 * height * base; // Print the 'area' onto the console. printf("Area of the triangle is : %d \n", area); return 0; } |
Program Output:
We are going to compile the program using the GCC compiler under the Ubuntu Linux system.
