Formula To Find Area of Right Angled Triangle

Area = (width * Height) / 2.0;

OR

Area = (width * Height * 0.5);

Note: If we divide an expression or number by 2, it’ll return only the integer part and the decimal part will be discarded. So we are dividing the expression by 2.0 (which is of type double).

C program To Find Area of Right Angled Triangle

Source Code: C program To Find Area of Right Angled Triangle

#include < stdio.h >

int main()
{
    float h, w, area;

    printf("Enter height and width of a right angled triangle\n");
    scanf("%f%f", &h, &w);

    area = (h * w) / 2.0;

    printf("Area of a Right Angled Triangle is %f\n", area);

    return 0;
}

Output:
Enter height and width of a right angled triangle
10

Area of a Right Angled Triangle is 25.000000

Validate the Input and Find Area of Triangle: C Program

#include < stdio.h >

int main()
{
    float h, w, area;

    printf("Enter height and width of a right angled triangle\n");
    scanf("%f%f", &h, &w);

    if(w == 0 || h == 0)
    {
        printf("Invalid Input\n");
    }
    else
    {
