Program Description

Write a java program to calculate the area of triangle. The area of triangle of base b , and height h is calculated using the mathematical formula:

$Area of Triangle = \frac{ base * height}{ 2}$

Java Program

The Java program prompts the user to enter base and the height of the triangle.

It computes the area of the triangle using the formula.
