Geometrical Problems

Review programs in BASIC to solve simple geometrical problems.

Finding Perimeter and Area

Write a program in BASIC that takes length L and width W of a rectangle from user and calculates the perimeter and area of the rectangle.

\[ \begin{aligned} \text{Perimeter of a rectangle} &= 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width}) \\ \text{Area of a rectangle} &= \text{length} \times \text{width} \\ \end{aligned} \]

Enter length of rectangle: 5
Enter width of rectangle:  7

Perimeter of rectangle is: 24
Area of rectangle is:      35

INPUT "Enter length of rectangle: ", L

Finding Circumference and Area

Write a program in BASIC that takes radius R of a circle from user and calculates the circumference and area of the circle.

\[ \begin{aligned} \text{Circumference of a circle} &= 2 \times \pi \times \text{radius} \\ \text{Area of a circle} &= \pi \times \text{radius}^2 \\ \pi &= 3.14 \end{aligned} \]

Enter radius of circle: 5

Circumference of circle is: 31.42
Area of circle is:          78.54

INPUT "Enter radius of circle: ", R

C = 2 * 3.14 * R
A = 3.14 * R * R

PRINT "Circumference of circle is: ", C
PRINT "Area of circle is:          ", A

Finding Surface Area and Volume

Write a program in BASIC that takes one side S of a cube from user and calculates the volume and surface area of the cube.

\[ \begin{aligned} \text{Volume of a cube} &= \text{side} \times \text{side} \times \text{side} \\ \text{Surface area of a cube} &= 6 \times \text{side} \times \text{side} \\ \end{aligned} \]

Enter side of cube: 4

Surface area of cube is: 96
Volume of cube is:       64

INPUT "Enter side of cube: ", S

A = 6 * (S * S)
V = S * S * S

PRINT "Surface area of cube is: ", A
PRINT "Volume of cube is:       ", V

Percentage Problems

Review programs in BASIC to solve simple real-life percentage related problems.

Finding Percentage of Marks

Class teachers have a tiring task of calculating the percentage of marks obtained in science subjects for each students. To help them out, your class decides to ease their task.

Write a program in BASIC that takes marks obtained by a student in Biology B, Physics P, and Chemistry C, along with the total marks T of all the three subject and calculate the percentage of marks obtained in science subjects by a student.

\[ \text{Marks obtained} = \frac{\text{Marks obtained in (Biology + Physics + Chemistry)}}{\text{Total marks of science subjects}} \times 100 \]

Enter marks obtained in Biology:   80
Enter marks obtained in Chemistry: 78
Enter marks obtained in Physics:   85
Enter total marks of all subjects: 300

Marks obtained in Science subjects: 81

INPUT "Enter marks obtained in Biology:   ", B
INPUT "Enter marks obtained in Chemistry: ", C
INPUT "Enter marks obtained in Physics:   ", P
INPUT "Enter total marks of all subjects: ", T

PERCENT = ((B + C + P) / T) * 100

PRINT "Marks obtained in Science subjects: ", PERCENT

Finding Simple Interest

One of your rich relative is in a business of giving out loans. Being in a loan business, he often has to calculate simple interest. So, you decided to ease his task of finding interest payable by clients.

Write a program in BASIC that takes from user a principal amount P, annual rate of interest R, and time of loan T and calculates the simple interest and total amount payable at the end of loan period.

\[ \begin{aligned} \text{Interest} &= \text{Principal} \times \text{Time} \times \frac{Rate}{100} \\ \text{Amount} &= \text{Interest} + \text{Principal} \\ \end{aligned} \]

Enter principal amount: 25000
Enter interest rate:    2.5
Enter time elapsed:     3

Interest payable:     1875
Total amount payable: 26875

INPUT "Enter principal amount: ", P
INPUT "Enter interest rate:    ", R
INPUT "Enter time elapsed:     ", T

I = (P * R * T) / 100
A = P + I

PRINT "Interest payable:     ", I
PRINT "Total amount payable: ", A

Finding Gain Percentage

Sneha owns a stationery shops and wants to make a certain gain on each item she sells. Help her out by writing a program for her.

Write a program in BASIC for her that takes the cost price CP of an item and the gain percentage GP she wants and then calculate the selling price of the item.

\[ \text{Selling price} = \text{Cost price} \times \left( 1 + \frac{\text{Gain \%}}{100} \right) \]

Enter cost price of item: 50
Enter gain percentage:    30

Selling price will be: 65

INPUT "Enter cost price of item: ", CP
INPUT "Enter gain percentage:    ", GP

SP = CP * (1 + (GP / 100))

PRINT "Selling price will be: ", SP

SI Unit Problems

SI units is the future. Yet, people still tend to use the old-school British sytem of units instead of the new standards of units. To help people out and make remarkable change on the society, you decided to write a bunch of programs to convert older units to newer SI units.

Converting Gram to Kilogram

Write a program in BASIC that takes a weight G in grams from user and prints the corresponding weight in Kilogram.

Enter weight (in G): 2500

Weight (in KG) is: 2.5

INPUT "Enter weight (in G): ", G

KG = G / 1000

PRINT "Weight (in KG) is: ", KG

Converting Fahreinheit to Celsius

Write a program in BASIC that takes a temperature F in Fahreinheit from user and prints the corresponding temperature in Celsius.

Enter temperature (in F): 98.2

Temperature (in C) is: 36.8

INPUT "Enter temperature (in F): ", F

C = 5 * (F - 32) / 9

PRINT "Temperature (in C) is: ", C

Converting H:M:S to Seconds

Write a program in BASIC that takes hours H, minutes M, and seconds S from user and prints the corresponding time in seconds.
