Triangle area

def tri_area(base,height):
    BXH = base * height
    calc_area = BXH / 2 # calc_area is local so can only be accessed inside the tri_area() function
    return calc_area # to output the value of calc_area the value is returned

area = tri_area(int(input("Please enter the base of the triangle.  ")), int(input("Please enter the height of the triangle.  "))) #Asks the user for custom dimensions, and stores them as integers
print("The area of the triangle is:", area) #Outputs the custom dimensions
