Embedded Statement cannot be a declaration

Hi, I'm new to C# and struggling with this error. I think that the Variable cant be used because its not in the brackets but how do i fix this. This is the code and its for homework we have to create a program to determine what type of triangle it is and what the area is

Add brackets around each of the three statements If you don't have brackets, then you can only have a single statement and which cannot be a variable declaration. I.e.

if (side1 == side2)
{
  double area = ...;
  // etc.
}

if (side1 == side2)
{
  double area = ...;
  // etc.
}

Ahh Ok I didnt think you needed brackets because it was a single line didnt realise it could be a declaration Should i delete the one before?

Missed that one. Then just skip all the sub-declarations Don't declare area twice in any execution
