Question

Write a “C” program to calculate the area of the following geometric shape. It's a pentagon with a square on the bottom and a triangle on the top. All the sides (both triangle and square) are length of D. I know how to calculate area of a triangle and the square. My question I have is how to add the two functions together, how to introduce a variable as the base and height value. When i keep trying to input D it gives me that the answer is 0. Furthermore, is calculating the area of a square plus a triangle the same as calculating the area as a pentagon if you were to add it together.

Explanation / Answer

#include <stdio.h>

#include <conio.h>

int main(){

    float length, width, area;

    printf("Enter length of Rectangle ");

    scanf("%f", &length);

    printf("Enter width of Rectangle ");

    scanf("%f", &width);

    /* Area of Rectangle = Length X Width */

    area = length * width;

    printf("Area of Rectangle : %0.4f ", area);

    getch();

    return 0;

}
