Write a C program to read length and width from the input and compute the perimeter and area of the rectangle.
Problem Definition:
In this program, we will read the length and breadth of the rectangle. Next, we find the area and perimeter of a rectangle.
Source code of C program to read length width and compute Area Perimeter
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
float length,width;
float area,perimeter;
printf("Enter the length of a Rectangle: ");
scanf("%f",&length);
printf("Enter the width of a Rectangle: ");
scanf("%f",&width);
area=length*width; //calculates area
perimeter=2*(length+width); //calculates perimeter
printf("\nArea of a rectangle is %f",area);
printf("\nPerimeter of a rectangle is %f",perimeter);
}Output:
Case 1:
Enter the length of a Rectangle: 10
Enter the width of a Rectangle: 20
Area of a rectangle is 200.000000
Perimeter of a rectangle is 60.000000
Case 2:
Enter the length of a Rectangle: 20
Enter the width of a Rectangle: 10
Area of a rectangle is 60.000000
Perimeter of a rectangle is 200.000000
Program Explanation:
1. First, create 4 variables such as length, breadth, area, and perimeter of type float.
2. Next, ask the user to enter the values of length and breadth.
3. Calculate the area of a rectangle using formula – > area = length * width
4. Calculate the perimeter of a rectangle using formula – > perimeter= 2 * (length * width)
5. Finally, display area and rectangle using printf statement.
