Write a program that calculates the area (a) of a triangle given two values b (base) and h ( height) and using the formula area = (base * height) / 2 . The program should include a function called calculate_area which has two input parameters (b and h) and one output parameter (a). The user is prompted to enter two input values that will be used as base (b) and height (h) then the function calculate_area uses those two values as input parameters returns the calculated area (a) as an output parameter. After using the function calculate_area the program should display the calculated area (a).

Question

Write a program that calculates the area (a) of a triangle given two values b (base) and h (
height) and using the formula area = (base * height) / 2 .
The program should include a function called calculate_area which has two input parameters
(b and h) and one output parameter (a).
The user is prompted to enter two input values that will be used as base (b) and height (h) then
the function calculate_area uses those two values as input parameters returns the calculated
area (a) as an output parameter. After using the function calculate_area the program should
display the calculated area (a).
Hint: use a pointer for the output paramete
