Area of Rectangle, Circle and Triangle Using Switch Case

Program Abstraction:This article contains a simple C program to find the area of rectangle, circle and triangle.

Finding the area of rectangle, circle, or triangle is one of common questions in C practical examination. Finding the area of circle, rectangle and triangle may in a same question or question may ask you find area of anyone of above shape.

This is a C program to find area of a rectangle, circle and triangle in a same program. You can separate this program as your needs.

ØManually we can find the area of a rectangle by using equation:             Area = Breadth * Length.  

ØAlso we can find the area of a circle by using equation:

         Area = 3.14 * (radius)²

ØAlso we can find the area of a triangle by using equation:

   IF:
a = length of first side
b = length of second side
c = length of third side
s= (a + b+ c)/2 
        Area = sqrt(s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)) 
-where sqrt stands for square root

Program Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h> 
#include <stdlib.h> 
#include <math.h> 
void main()
{
int a,b,c,r, rectarea;
float circlearea, s1,s2,s3;
float s,triarea2;
clrscr();
printf("n Three Choices");
printf("n…………………….n 1- rectanglen 2- circlen 3- triangle");
printf("n Enter your choice :");
scanf("%d",&c);
switch(c)
{
case 1: 
   printf("n Enter breadth and length of rectangle:");
  scanf("%d%d",&a,&b);
  rectarea = a * b;
  printf("Area of rectangle with breadth %d and length %d is %d units",a,b,      rectarea);
  break;
case 2:
printf("n Enter the radius of circle:");
  scanf("%d",&r);
  circlearea = 3.14 * r * r;
  printf("Area of triangle with radius %d is %f units ",r, circlearea);
  break;
case 3:
  printf("n Enter the three side of triangle:n");
  scanf("%f%f%f",&s1,&s2,&s3);
  s = (s1 + s2 + s3)/2;
  triarea2 =sqrt(s *((s - s1) * (s - s2) * (s - s3)));
  printf("Area of triangle is %f",triarea2);
  break;
default:
  printf("Invalid choice");
}
getch();
}

Sample output for finding area of a rectangle with breadth and length 5 and 10 respectively:

Enter the breadth and length of rectangle:

5
10
Area of rectangle breadth 5 and length 10 is 50 units

Sample output for finding area of a triangle with the length of sides as 4, 5, and 6

Enter the length of the 3 sides of triangle:
4
5
6
Area of triangle is 9.921

Sample output for finding area of a circle with radius 3:

Enter the radius of circle : 3
Area of triangle with radius 3 is 28.260000 units
