Finally, print the value of area.
Program to find area of rectangle
/**
* C program to find area of rectangle
*/
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
float length, width, area;
/*
* Input length and width of rectangle
*/
printf("Enter length of rectangle: ");
scanf("%f", &length);
printf("Enter width of rectangle: ");
scanf("%d", &width);
/* Calculate area of rectangle */
area = length * width;
/* Print area of rectangle */
printf("Area of rectangle = %f sq. units ", area);
return 0;
}
Output
Enter length of rectangle: 5
Enter width of rectangle: 10
Area of rectangle = 50.000000 sq. units
