Question

I have a lab due that I don't understand how to write. I'm new to programming and my online teacher is no help. Heres the questions I don't understand how do I proram this using VC++.

Write a complete program to solve the following problem.

Prompt the user for the length of the 3 sides of a triangle in ascending order.

If a, b, and c represent the 3 sides of a triangle, the last value input will be c, the

longest side.

The following calculations can be made:

         1. perimeter = a + b + c

          2.  Set s = 0.5(a + b + c)

                the area of the triangle is the square root

                    of    s(s %u2013 a)(s %u2013b)(s-c)

          3. The triangle will be a right triangle, i.e. have a 90 degree angle,

                  if      c squared %u2013 the sum of a squared and b squared is equal to 0

Output to the screen the 3 sides, the perimeter, the area, and if the triangle is a

right triangle or not.

You will need to use the sqrt function, so you will need to include <cmath>

Run the program twice using the following data

3.0    4.0    5.0

5.0   6.0     7.0

Explanation / Answer

please rate = thanks

any questions just ask

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>

using namespace std;
int main()
{ double a,b,c,area,perimeter,s;  
cout<<"Enter the sides of a triangle in ascending order ";
      cout<<"Enter side 1: ";
       cin>>a;
       cout<<"Enter side 2: ";
       cin>>b;
       cout<<"Enter side 3: ";
       cin>>c;
       perimeter=a+b+c;
       s=perimeter/2.;
       area=sqrt(s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c));
       cout<<"sides: "<<a<<", "<<b<<" and "<<c<<" ";
       cout<<"area: "<<area<<" square units"<<endl;
       cout<<"perimeter: "<<perimeter<<endl;
       if(a*a+b*b==c*c)
             cout<<"This is a right triangle ";
       else
             cout<<"This is not a right triangle ";
return 0;
}
