Example: Compare Triangle Areas (Base & Height) in C

// Compare Triangle Areas (Base & Height)
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    float base1, height1, base2, height2;
    float area1, area2;

    // Step 1: Get dimensions for Triangle 1
    printf("Enter base for Triangle 1: ");
    scanf("%f", &base1);
    printf("Enter height for Triangle 1: ");
    scanf("%f", &height1);

    // Step 2: Get dimensions for Triangle 2
    printf("Enter base for Triangle 2: ");
    scanf("%f", &base2);
    printf("Enter height for Triangle 2: ");
    scanf("%f", &height2);

    // Step 3: Calculate areas
    area1 = 0.5 * base1 * height1;
    area2 = 0.5 * base2 * height2;

    // Step 4: Display calculated areas
    printf("\nTriangle 1 Area: %.2f\n", area1);
    printf("Triangle 2 Area: %.2f\n", area2);

    // Step 5: Compare areas and display the result
    if (area1 > area2) {
        printf("Triangle 1 is greater than Triangle 2.\n");
    } else if (area2 > area1) {
        printf("Triangle 2 is greater than Triangle 1.\n");
    } else {
        printf("Both triangles have equal areas.\n");
    }

    return 0;
