I need help with this program I need to create at this point I'm sorta lost on what I'm supposed to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated THANK YOU!

instructions

Build a program to compute the area of geometric figures. The program will request information about the size of two geometric figures and the output the resulting areas. Create two classes, one named Square and one named Triangle. Each class should:

1. Contain member variables that are relevant for the shape it represents.
2. Use the private and public access specifiers to group class member variables and member functions in the appropriate way.
3. Declare and implement the following two public member functions (according the to exact function prototypes given here):

//gets data for each member variable from
//the user
void getDimensions( );

//calculates the area, based on the current
//member variable values, and returns the
//area to the calling function
double calculateArea( );

write the formula for calculateArea() and getDimensions(). you need something above line 9 as well.

The instructions say "Create two classes". Have you created class declarations in square.h and triangle.h yet? If so, please show those headers.

Note that lines 28-29 and 23,25 call member functions. Lines 44 and 52 are not member functions.
