Challenge: Find the Area of a Triangle

Problem Statement

• The task is to call the root function my_area that calculates the area of a triangle.

$Area$ $of$ $a$ $triangle$ = $1/2 * base * height$

• A method triangle_area() is defined within the module shapes.
• The task is to complete the method
  • Implement root function.
  • Call the root function my_area from within the public function triangle_area().
  • Print the return value from the root function, i.e., area of the triangle

Input

   x and y

Note: Assume that base and height are passed to the function my_public_function

Output

The area of a triangle

   float value

Sample Input

   x = 3, y = 4

Sample Output

   6
