Answer to Question #212453 in Python for Maya

Question

H/w question 6

Create a program in Python, called Tri-Calculator, that uses a function to calculate the area of a triangle given the base and height measurements. Use the below function to do your calculation:

def area_of_triangle (base, height); return 0.5 * base * height

The program should receive the base and the height from the user. Once the user enter a base greater than the height the program should give the user another attempt to enter a base and a height. The program only give the user three attempts to enter the correct base and height on the third attempt the program should display the below message:

"Your 3 attempts is up, try again later"

If the user enters a base less than height, the program should display the correct triangle area using the given function.

(it should contain a function, loop, if statement and sentinel value)

Answer 1

def area_of_triangle(base, height):
    return 0.5 * base * height


attempts =3
base=0
height=0
isWrong=True
while(attempts>0 and isWrong):
    base=int(input("Enter base: "))
    height=int(input("Enter height: "))
    isWrong=False
    attempts-=1
    if(base>height):
        isWrong=True
    else:
        attempts=3


if attempts==0:
    print("Your 3 attempts is up, try again later")
else:
    area=area_of_triangle(base, height)
    print(f"The triangle area is: {area}")
