Help, please

[CCollin]

Hi everyone, I'm new to C++, have been using it for just over 2 weeks. I'm working on this program and have gotten several errors. I;ve already fixed the simpler ones i could recognize myself but dont know what to do with the rest, so your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

For starters, address the following issues....

A. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Cpp1e.cpp(54) : error C2065: 'space' : undeclared identifier
space should be defined as a float on line 17
B. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Cpp1e.cpp(59) : error C2086: 'corner' : redefinition
corner is declared in lines 41,59 and 59. comment out these three lines and define corner somewhere near line 17
C. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Cpp1e.cpp(60) : error C2086: 'x' : redefinition
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Cpp1e.cpp(60) : error C2086: 'y' : redefinition
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Cpp1e.cpp(60) : error C2086: 'distance' : redefinition
The x, y and distance variables are declared in lines 42,60 and 80. comment these variables out in those lines
and declare them near line 17
D. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Cpp1e.cpp(79) : error C2086: 'corner' : redefinition
This is resolved in item B
E. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Cpp1e.cpp(80) : error C2086: 'x' : redefinition
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Cpp1e.cpp(80) : error C2086: 'y' : redefinition
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Cpp1e.cpp(80) : error C2086: 'distance' : redefinition
The above three are resolved in item C
F. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Cpp1e.cpp(80) : error C2086: 'totalA' : redefinition
totalA is declared in lines 60 and 80. Remove totalA from these two lines and declare totalA around line 17
G. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Cpp1e.cpp(130) : error C2447: missing function header (old-style formal list?)
Remove the semicolon after the end of the function name in line 129
H. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Cpp1e.cpp(152) : error C2601: 'area' : local function definitions are illegal
You've got a function within a function. The area function is within the perimeter function. You must place the area function
outside the perimeter function and add a closing brace to the perimeter function
I. C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Cpp1e.cpp(169) : error C2601: 'centroidx' : local function definitions are illegal
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Cpp1e.cpp(183) : error C2601: 'centroidy' : local function definitions are illegal
The above two issues should be resolved when you resolve issue H.
