Area of Triangle using Python

print("We will calculate the area of a triangle")
base = input("How long is the base in cm?> ")
base=float(base)
height = input("What is the height in cm?> ")
height = float(height)
area = 0.5*(base*height)
print("The base is " + str(base)+ " and the height is " + str(height) + ", so the area is " + str(area))
