LEARN Theory for this problem
+

`double` stores real numbers. `fixed` together with `setprecision(6)` prints exactly six digits after the decimal point.

Connection to “Triangle Area”: here, intermediate values are best kept in named variables so the formula stays readable and data types remain clear.

['Compute with `double`, then format the result at output.', 'After solving “Triangle Area”, verify the algorithm on your own small example and on an allowed boundary case. Print only the required result with no extra text.']

ANSWER Solution
+
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
int main() {
    double a, b;
    cin >> a >> b;
    double result = a*b/2;
    cout << fixed << setprecision(6) << result << '\n';
    return 0;
