Algorithm

1. Input base
2. Input height
3. Validate base and height are numerical
4. Calculate area = 0.5 * base * height
5. Display area
6. End

Code Examples

#1 If a, b and c are three sides of a triangle. Then

Code - Python Programming

s = (a+b+c)/2
area = √(s(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c))

#2 Program to Calculate the Area of a Triangle

Code - Python Programming

# Python Program to find the area of triangle

a = 5
b = 6
c = 7

# Uncomment below to take inputs from the user
 a = float(input('Enter first side: '))
 b = float(input('Enter second side: '))
 c = float(input('Enter third side: '))

# calculate the semi-perimeter
s = (a + b + c) / 2

# calculate the area
area = (s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)) ** 0.5
print('The area of the triangle is %0.2f' %area)
