HW2.24. Statement: Area of a Triangle The area of a triangle can be computed by knowing the base and height of the triangle using the following formula: (the dot is mathematical notation for multiplication) Write a Python statement that assigns the variable area to the value computed by the above formula using variables base and height.

The python statement is:

area= 0.5 * base * height

Explanation:

Given

Required

Write an equivalent python statement

From the question, we understand that the expression be assigned to variable area.

So, the  equivalent python statement is:

area= 0.5 * base * height

Where

It can also be written as:

area = base * height / 2

It can also be written as:

area = 1/2 * base * height

All the above statements are equivalent to:

i don't think so. although it would be nice. i am pretty sure that was an option an update or two ago. i guess they want you to stay 14 forever. haha.
