negative heights ??? what the hell does that mean?
and when two of ha, hb, and hc are zero, then we have no triangle but something like a line, which obviously has are 0.000. I don't think it is invalid input. However, when only one of ha, hb, hc is zero, then the input is invalid.
Am I right here ?

ya...i am wondering whether area=o is valid or not.
Maarten, do you ever think of triangle abc:
ab>ac-bc, ab<ac+bc........like this condition????
i've noticed this, but still W.A.....
is it the problem of precision????
for all variable are floating type or double type....

never mind me.. i made a stupid mistake:
[cpp] else if( ha == 0.0 || hb == 0.0 )
printf( "These are invalid inputs!\n" );
else {
[/cpp]
it should be
[cpp] else if( ha == 0.0 || hb == 0.0 ) {
printf( "These are invalid inputs!\n" );
i++;
} else {
[/cpp]

They have said there may be invalid inputs. So what's the problem if there are negative values.
And I don't think two zeroes are valid because no triangle can be formed with the data. Anyway, This is just confusing.

the thing i hate about this problem is that one can interpret certain inputs in different ways. For example:
negative heights: this is either invalid, or one is supposed to use only absolute value of height. Both are equally probable.
2 zeros: It is possible to form a 'triangle' in which two heights are zero, although it's more like a line than.
A request to the problemsetter: please be more clear about what you mean. This kind of vagueness really takes away the pleasure of solving a problem.

To all who feel confusing:
I got AC in the 4th time at last.
There should be no negative weights.
Also, if anyone of the heights is zero, it is invalid.
Hope this can help!

Given three real numbers ( double, long double numbers
in terms of C++ ) Ha, Hb, Hc we can state the following :
Code: Select all
Ha, Hb, Hc are valid lengths of heights/altitudes of a
non-degenerate triangle if and only if the following conditions
hold:
1) Ha, Hb, Hc are all positive
2) 1/Ha + 1/Hb - 1/Hc > 0
3) 1/Ha - 1/Hb + 1/Hc > 0
4) -1/Ha + 1/Hb + 1/Hc > 0
I leave to you how to express these conditions in C++ or some
other programming language.
And one more thing: I have used this condition in my ACC program
so at least for this problem you can assume this is the condition.
I am sure that purely from a mathematical point of view,
this is also the true IF-AND-ONLY-IF statement.

The idea is this: use the relationship between area, height, and side lengths. Then apply Heron's formula. The condition to check for is that all 3 heights must be positive, and the expression inside the square root is also positive.

I used your conditions and worked out the formula:
Let A = the triangle area
We have : A = 1/2 ha * a = 1/2 hb * b = 1/2 hc * c (*)
In Heron's A = 1/4 sqtr( (a + b + c) *(-a + b + c) *(a - b + c) *(a + b - c) )
Let
x = 1/ha + 1/hb + 1/hc
y = -1/ha + 1/hb + 1/hc
z = 1/ha - 1/hb + 1/hc
t = 1/ha + 1/hb - 1/hc
Substitute a, b, c from (*) and simplify
A^2 = A^4 * x * y * z * t
<==> A = sqrt(1 / (x * y * z * t) )
However, I could not get Accepted because of some precision errors.
Does anyone have any suggestion of how to express the answer ?
10522---repeatedly getting WA! Plz HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can someone tell me why am I getting WA?
Though I have added all the conditions discusse before....but getting WA!
Code: Select all
#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
int main(void)
{
int invalid, counter=0;
long double A, B, C;
long double HA, HB, HC;
long double a, b, c, d;
long double x, area;
//freopen("10522.txt","r", stdin);
//freopen("10522.out","w", stdout);
scanf("%d", & invalid);
while(1)
{
scanf("%Lf%Lf%Lf",&HA,&HB,&HC);
if(HA < 0 || HB <0 || HC < 0)
{
counter++;
printf("These are invalid inputs!\n");
if(counter==invalid)
break;
}
A = 1/HA;
B = 1/HB;
C = 1/HC;
a = (A+B+C);
b = (-A+B+C);
c = (A-B+C);
d = (A+B-C);
if( a<0 || b<0 || c<0 )
{
counter++;
printf("These are invalid inputs!\n");
if(counter==invalid)
break;
}
else
{
//x = 1/(a*b*c*d) ;
//area = sqrt(x);
printf("%.3Lf\n", sqrt( 1/(a*b*c*d)));
}
}
return 0;
}
thnx in advance!

Post in an existing thread if possible;
If there isn't one, create one with the problem number and title in the subject line;

I have solved problem with help of this formula. I have one suggestion: I solved it with Pascal, variables ha, hb, hc, x, y, z, t and s (area) were of type extended. So, you can try it in the same way, or you can try use double/long double in C/C++.
Please, sorry for my bad english.

thanks for your remind.
it seems that i fogot this constraint and only checking if 1/Ha+1/Hb>1/Hc
This simple code gives WA .Plzzzzz somebody help me

I am repeatedly getting wrong answer on this code. can someone tell me what is wrong with my code ??
Code: Select all

if(!isnan(area))
{
printf("%.3lf\n",area);
}
else { cout<<"These are invalid inputs!"<<endl;
t--;
if(t==0) break;}
}
return 0;
}
