Question

A piece of wire is to be bent in the form of a rectangle to put around a picture frame. The length of the picture frame is 1.5 times the width. Write a program that prompts the user to input the length of the wire and outputs the length and width of the picture frame.

USING C++ language please

Answer 1

CODE:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
   double lenOfWire;
   double lenPictureFrame = 0, widPictureFrame = 0;
   //prompt to get the length of the wire
   cout << "Enter the length of the wire: ";
   //getting and storing the length of the wire
   cin >> lenOfWire;

   //using the formula of the perimeter of the rectangle
   // 2(l+b) = perimeter of the rectangle
   // since the length is    1.5 times the breadth
   // hence equating it against the length of the wire
   widPictureFrame = (lenOfWire/2.5);
   // determine the length of the picture frame
   //once we get the width of the picture frame
   lenPictureFrame = 1.5 * widPictureFrame;

   //output to the console
   cout << "The length of the picture frame is " << lenPictureFrame << " and the width is " << widPictureFrame;
   return 0;
}

OUTPUT:

Enter the length of the wire: 25 The length of the picture frame is 15 and the width is 10
