Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 2PP
The area of an arbitrary triangle can be using the formula
where a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides, and s is the semiperimeter:
Write a void function that uses five parameters: three value parameters that provide the lengths of the edges and two reference parameters that compute the area and perimeter (not the semiperimeter). Make your function robust. Note that not all combinations of a, b, and c produce a triangle. Your function should produce correct results for legal data and reasonable results for illegal combinations.

USE C++programming language
Write the following function:
Name: CylinderVolume
Parameters: r (int), h (double)
Calculate and return the volume of a cylinder
The formula for volume of a cylinder is: Volume = pi*r2 * h
In main() input the radius (int) and the height (double) of a cylinder. Then use the function CylinderVolum() to calculate the volume and then display the volume. Limit the output to 2 decimal places.

- Python XYZ store plans to give a festival discount to its customers. The store management has decided to give discount on the following criteria: Shopping Amount Discount Offered >=500 and <1000 5% >=1000 and <2000 8% >=2000 10% An additional discount of 5% is given to customers who are the members of the store. Create a program using user defined function that accepts the shopping amount as a parameter and calculates discount and net amount payable on the basis of the following conditions:Net Payable Amount = Total Shopping Amount – Discount.arrow_forwardprintTodaysDate is a function that accepts no parameters and returns no value.

The following formula can be used to determine a moving object’s kinetic energy:KE=12mv2The variables in the formula are as follows: KE is the kinetic energy, m is the object’s mass in kilograms, and v is the object’s velocity in meters per second. Write a function named kinetic_energy that accepts an object’s mass (in kilograms) and velocity (in meters per second) as arguments. The function should return the amount of kinetic energy that the object has. Write a program that asks the user to enter values for mass andvelocity, then calls the kinetic_energy function to get the object’s kinetic energy.arrow_forward

The second takes a single parameter that is a temperature in degrees Celsius and returns the corresponding temperature in Fahrenheit. The thirsd function takes one parameter, a temperture in celsius and print the temperature in Celsius along with the corresponding temperature in Fahrenhiet. This function will use the second function.

BMI is: weight/(height^2). Weight should be in kg and height should be in meters. For instance, if the weight is 60 kg and the height is 1.7 m, then the BMI should be 20.76. The function should print the name and BMI. The function should return 'BMI is greater than 22' if the MBI is greater than or equal to 22. Otherwise, the function should return 'BMI is less than 22'.
