C++ Exercises: Calculate area of an equilateral triangle

Sample Solution:

C++ Code :

#include<iostream> // Including input-output stream header file
using namespace std; // Using the standard namespace
#include<math.h> // Including the math library header file for mathematical operations

int main() { // Start of the main function

    float s1; // Declaring a variable to store the side length of the equilateral triangle
    float area; // Declaring a variable to store the area of the equilateral triangle

    cout << "\n\n Calculate the area of the Equilateral Triangle :\n"; // Displaying the purpose of the program
    cout << " ----------------------------------------------------\n"; 

    cout << " Input the value of the side of the equilateral triangle: "; // Prompting the user to input the side length
    cin >> s1; // Taking input of the side length from the user

    area = sqrt(3) / 4 * (s1 * s1); // Calculating the area of the equilateral triangle using the formula
    cout << " The area of the equilateral triangle is: " << area << endl; // Displaying the calculated area

    cout << endl; // Displaying an empty line for better readability
    return 0; // Returning 0 to indicate successful program execution
}

Sample Output:

Calculate the area of the Equilateral Triangle :                      
 ----------------------------------------------------                  
 Input the value of the side of the equilateral triangle: 5            
 The area of equilateral triangle is: 10.8253
