C++ Exercises: Calculate area of an equilateral triangle

C++ Basic: Exercise-53 with Solution

Write a program in C++ to calculate area of an equilateral triangle.

Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:

C++ Code :

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
#include<math.h>

main(){

float s1;
 float area;
		cout << "\n\n Calculate the area of the Equilateral Triangle :\n";
		cout << " ----------------------------------------------------\n"; 

cout<<" Input the value of the side of the equilateral triangle: ";
 cin>>s1;
area = sqrt(3)/4*(s1*s1);
 cout<<" The area of equilateral triangle is: "<<area<<endl;
        cout << endl;
 return 0;
}

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
