In this exercise, you will write some simple code.
Look at lab instructions and use the Wing Interactive Develoment Environment.
1) Create rectangle height and width variables and initialize them with the values 2.9 and 7.1 respectively.
2) Calculate the area of the rectangle and save it in an area variable.
3) Print the height, width, and area of the rectangle as shown below.
Note: Use the sample code shown below to print - we will learn more about printing in the next Unit.
print("Height:", height)
4) Use floor division to modify the values in the height and width variables by dividing them by 2.
Note: floor division is the prefered name in Python. Elsewhere it is commonly called integer division.
5) Print the data for this smaller rectangle.
Did you get the answers you expected?

Example output:

height: x.x
width:  x.x
area:   x.x
height: x.x
width:  x.x
area:   x.x
