Question

Do not use C++ pointers (this is not a topic of this course).

Answer 1

The program is an illustration of functions in C++

C++ functions are collection of named program statements that are executed when called

The C++ program

The program in C++, where comments are used to explain each action is as follows:

#include <iostream>

#include <cmath>

using namespace std;

//This defines the boolean method

bool isoscelesTriangleHeightAndArea(double base, double hypotenuse, double height, double area) {

   //This checks for invalid base and height

   if(base < 0 || hypotenuse < 0){

       return false;

   }

   //This returns true if base and height are valid

   return true;

}

//The main begins here

int main(){

   //This initializes the variables

   double base, hypotenuse, height, area;

   //This gets input for base and hypotenuse

   cout<<"Base: ";    cin>>base;

   cout<<"Hypotenuse: "; cin>>hypotenuse;

   //The calls the boolean method

   bool success = isoscelesTriangleHeightAndArea(base, hypotenuse, height, area);

   //If success is True

   while (success){

       //This calculates height

       height = sqrt(hypotenuse*hypotenuse - (base/2) * (base/2));

       //This calculates area

       area = 0.5 * base * height;

       //This prints height

       cout << "Triangle height is " << height << endl;

       //This prints area

       cout << "Triangle area is " << area << endl;

       //This gets input for base and hypotenuse

       cout<<"Base: ";    cin>>base;

       cout<<"Hypotenuse: "; cin>>hypotenuse;

       bool success = isoscelesTriangleHeightAndArea(base, hypotenuse, height, area);

   }

   cout << "Invalid Input!" << endl;

}
