/* 	Problem 1
	
*	Write a program that asks the user to enter the base and height
    of a triangle and calculates its area.
	
	Here is a sample output.
	
	Please enter the base of the triangle:4
	Please enter the height of the triangle:8
	
	The area of a triangle of base 4 and height 8 is 16.
*	(5 Points.)
