5. (a) The program below is given in the form of a pseudocode.
Start
Enter radius
If radius < 0
Then display “error message “ and re-enter positive radius
Else enter slant height
If slant height < 0
Then display “error message “and re-enter positive slant height
Else Area = 𝜋 ∗ 𝑟 ∗(r + slant height)
End if
Display Area
Stop
