Explanation of Solution
The corrected program is given below with errors and corrections explained in the in-lined comments:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
//declare double pointer variables
double *baseRadius;
double *height;
//set the print output format
cout << fixed << showpoint << setprecision(2);
//allocate memory of type double and store the
//address of the allocated memory in baseRadius
baseRadius = new double;
//store 1.5 in the allocated memory
*baseRadius = 1.5;
//allocate memory of type double and store the
//address of the allocated memory in height
height = new double;
//store the value of the RHS expression in the allocated memory
//RHS = 2 &*#x00A0;(1.5) = 3.0
*height = 2 &*#x00A0;(*baseRadius);
//allocate fresh memory of type double and store the
//address of the allocated memory in baseRadius
//the earlier address referred to by baseRadius now
//becomes a case of leaked memory
//so it is essential to first deallocate the memory
//using delete operator
delete baseRadius;
baseRadius = new double;
//store 4.0 in the allocated memory
*baseRadius = 4.0;
//the code prints the address stored in baseRadius
//instead of the actual radius of the base
///cout << "Radius of the base: " << baseRadius << endl;
//so the correct code is
cout << "Radius of the base: " << *baseRadius << endl;
