''' Create a _function_ that accepts the dimensions of a triangle and _returns_ its area.
Note: The formula for the area of a triangle is base*height/2 '''

'''
 Hi @TonyMoody. The function should take the base and height of the triangle as parameters, rather than asking for user input during the function '''

def tarea(base, height):
    area = (base * height)/2
    # print("Triangle area is: ", area) OK within def.
    return area

# Test the function tarea()
# b = 20  # also works OK
# h = 30  # also works OK
b = float(input("base ? :"))
h = float(input("height ? :"))
a = tarea(b, h) # this 'a' == 'area' in the def tarea()
print("Area =", a)

'''
>>>
Area = 300.0
