Possible Solution

• In the file triangle.cpp, modify the areaTriangle function to correctly calculate the area of a triangle:

double areaTriangle(double base, double height) {
    return (base * height) / 2;
}

Code snippets to check

triangle.cpp

The function areaTriangle has an incorrect formula for calculating the area of a triangle, which is causing the output to be wrong. https://github.com/Mayil-SB-Internal-Prod/area-of-shapes/blob/2b9f475536430312b5a22932fbda88cf65dda84d/triangle.cpp#L1-L6
