How do you create triangle circle and rectangle classes derived from a base class shape with virtual area function in c plus plus?

#include<iostream> struct shape { virtual double area () const = 0; }; struct triangle : shape { triangle (double b, double h): base (b), height (h) {} double base, height; double area () const override { return base * height / 2; } }; struct circle : shape { circle (double r): radius (r) {} double radius; double area () const override { return 4 * atan(1) * radius * radius; } }; struct rectangle : shape { rectangle (double w, double h): width (w), height (h) {} double width, height; double area () const override { return width * height; } }; int main() { triangle t (10, 5); std::cout << "triangle with base " << t.base << " and height " << t.height << " has area " << t.area() << std::endl; circle c (5); std::cout << "circle with radius " << c.radius << " has area " << c.area() << std::endl; rectangle r (10, 5); std::cout << "rectangle with width " << r.width << " and height " << r.height << " has area " << r.area() << std::endl; }


If the height of a triangle is doubled how does the area change?

The area of the triangle would double


What will effect on the area of triangle if the side of the triangle just double from their original side?

area will get 4 times


How do you find trhe area of a triangle using fractions?

The answer will depend on the shape of the triangle and what is known about it.


How do you find the area of a rectangle with a triangle attached to the side?

you split your shape in half, (The rectangle and the triangle), by putting a line through it and then calculate the area of the rectangle and then calculate the area of the triangle, half the area of the triangle then add the area of the triangle and the rectangle together!Then you should have your answer!


Square feet of triangle?

The shape of the triangle - and its size - will determine its area. There is no information about the triangle provided and so there cannot be a sensible answer.


What is the area of 5 in 4 in and 8 in?

If the shape is a triangle, then the area is approx 8.2 sq in.


Dilating a triangle changes the shape of the triangle but does not change its shape True or false?

As written, the statement is false. You can't have it both ways. I suspect you meant to write that dilating a triangle changes the size or area of the triangle but does not change its shape. That would be true.


What effect does doubling the base of a triangle have on the area?

Doubling the base of a triangle while keeping the height constant will double the area of the triangle. The area of a triangle is directly proportional to its base length, so increasing the base length by a factor of 2 will result in the area being multiplied by 2 as well.


What shape has the most surface area?

least volume and most surface area is 3D triangle


Area of different shapes of equilateral triangle?

There is only one basic shape for an equilateral triangle. The area can only vary as the length of the sides vary.


What happens to area and perimeter of a triangle when it is moved?

Just moving a triangle, or rotating, or even reflecting (without scaling) a shape will not change its area or its perimeter.
