having semi-circular shaped ventilation on the basis of the rate of glass (In Rs./sq ft) and the
length of window (in ft) given by the user.
 NOTE: you need to practice developing programs with program designing
tools use so that you could analyse the logics correctly.

Example:

Problem: To calculate area of a triangle based on the supplied base and

height.

Algorithm:
START:
STEP 1: READ base and height as b and h. INPUT
STEP 2: calculate the area of the triangle as area by using the relation such as
Area=1/2*b*h. PROCESSING
STEP 3: Display the area as the area of the triangle calculated. OUTPUT
STOP:

Problem: To calculate area of a triangle based on its three sides input by a user.

a+b+c
[Hint: s= , area = s( s − a )( s − b )( s − c) where a,b & c are three sides of a
2
triangle.]

ALGORITHM:
START:
Step 1: READ the three sides of a triangle given by a user as a,b,c .
Step 2: Calculate s(semiperimeter) and the area of the triangle by using the relation as shown
below:
a+b+c
s= , area = s( s − a )( s − b )( s − c)

Step 3: Display the area calculated as the area of the
triangle.
STOP:
In c:
S=(a+b+c)/2.0;
Area=sqrt(s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c))
Where,
sqrt() is a mathematical function which calculates square root value of the given real number.
Syntax: sqrt(real number);
