Write a program that asks the user how many feet and how many inches they are. Compute and print the equivalent number in centimeters.

One foot is 12 inches. One inch is 2.54 centimeters.

Problem 8

print("Problem 8")

Previously, you wrote a program that calculated the area of a square. It is also possible to calculate the area of a triangle when all three sides are known. Ask the user for s1, s2, s3. Let

s=s1+s2+s32s=\frac{s1+s2+s3}{2}

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula

area=s(ss1)(ss2)(ss3)area=\sqrt{s (s-s1)(s-s2)(s-s3)}

To take the square root of a number, use the math library.

import math
math.sqrt()

Print the area.
