Hello, I'm just learning C++ and I'm getting an error with a program that is driving me nuts, and I'm not exactly sure how to resolve it. Can anyone help me?

AreaCalculator.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "double __cdecl AreaOfTriangle(double,double)" (?AreaOfTriangle@@YANNN@Z) referenced in function _main
