Question

Given class Triangle (in file Triangle.java), complete main() to read and set the base and height of triangle1 and of triangle2, determine which triangle's area is larger, and output that triangle's info, making use of Triangle's relevant methods. Ex: If the input is: 3.0 4.0 4.0 5.0 where 3.0 is triangle1's base, 4.0 is triangle1's height, 4.0 is triangle2's base, and 5.0 is triangle2's height, the output is: Triangle with larger area: Base: 4.00 Height: 5.00 Area: 10.00

import java.util.*;

public class triangle

{

public static void main(String [] args)

{

 Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

 //Declare variables

 double base1, height1, base2, height2;

 //Prompt user for inputs

 System.out.println("Provide values for the base and height of the two triangles");

 System.out.print("Base of Triangle 1: ");

 base1 = input.nextDouble();

 System.out.print("Height of Triangle 1: ");

 height1 = input.nextDouble();

 System.out.print("Base of Triangle 2: ");

 base2 = input.nextDouble();

 System.out.print("Height of Triangle 2: ");

 height2 = input.nextDouble();

 //Compare and Print Results

 if(0.5 *base1 * height1 > 0.5 * base2 * height2)

 {

  System.out.print("Triangle with larger area: Base: "+base1+" Height: "+height1+" Area: "+(0.5 * base1 * height1));

 }

 else

 {

  System.out.print("Triangle with larger area: Base: "+base2+" Height: "+height2+" Area: "+(0.5 * base2 * height2));

 }

}
