Find the area and perimeter of right triangle in PL/SQL

In this problem, we are given three values: base, height and hypotenuse of a right triangle. Our task is to find the area and perimeter of the right triangle in PL/SQL.

PL/SQL is a combination of SQL along with the procedural features of programming languages

Let's take an example to understand the problem,

Input : height = 4, base = 3, hypotenuse = 5
Output : area = 6, perimeter = 12

Explanation −

1 + 22 + 333 + 4444 = 4800

Solution Approach

A simple approach to solve the problem is using the formula for the area and perimeter of the triangle.

Area = 1/2^*(height)^*(base)

Perimeter = (height) + (base) + (hypotenuse)

Example

Program to illustrate the working of our solution in PL/SQL

DECLARE
   hypotenuse FLOAT;
   base FLOAT;
   height FLOAT;
   area FLOAT;
   perimeter FLOAT;
BEGIN
   hypotenuse := 13;
   base := 5;
   height := 12;
   area := (1/2)* base * height;
   perimeter := hypotenuse + height + base; dbms_output.Put_line('The Perimeter of triangle is ' || perimeter);
   dbms_output.Put_line('The Area of triangle is ' || area);
   END;

Output

The Perimeter of triangle is 30
The area of triangle is 30
