Problem #23
Solution Source Code
Code Overview
1. Header Files and Namespace:
<iostream>is included for input and output operations.<string>is included for potential future use (not used in this program).<cmath>is included to usesqrt()andpow()for mathematical calculations.using namespace std;allows the use of standard functions without prefixing them withstd::.
2. User Input Function (ReadTriangleData)
- Uses reference parameters (
float &A, float &B, float &C) to modify the values directly. - Prompts the user to enter the three sides of a triangle.
3. Area Calculation Function (CircleAreaByATriangle)
- Takes the three sides (A, B, C) as input.
- Computes the semi-perimeter (P) using:
- Computes the radius (T) of the inscribed circle using the formula:
- Computes the circle area using:
float Area = PI * pow(T, 2);
pow(T, 2)calculatesT².PIis defined as3.141592653589793238for precise calculations.
- Returns the computed area.
4. Output Function (PrintResult)
- Receives the computed area as a parameter.
- Prints
"Circle Area = [Area]".
5. Program Execution (main())
- Calls
ReadTriangleData()to get user input. - Calls
CircleAreaByATriangle()to compute the inscribed circle's area. - Calls
PrintResult()to display the result. - Returns
0to indicate successful execution.
This structured explanation ensures clarity and ease of understanding.
