Geometry Calculator
Design a Geometry class with the following methods:
- A static method that accepts the radius of a circle and returns the area of the circle. Use the following formula:
Area = πr2
Use Math.PI for π and the radius of the circle for r.
- A static method that accepts the length and width of a rectangle and returns the area of the rectangle. Use the following formula:
Area = Length × Width
- A static method that accepts the length of a triangle’s base and the triangle’s height. The method should return the area of the triangle. Use the following formula:
Area = Base × Height × 0.5
The methods should display an error message if negative values are used for the circle’s radius, the rectangle’s length or width, or the triangle’s base or height.
Next, write a program to test the class, which displays the following menu and responds to the user’s selection:

- Java Programming Travel Tickets Company sells tickets for airlines, tours, and other travel-related services. Because ticket agents frequently mistype long ticket numbers, Travel Tickets has asked you to write an application that indicates invalid ticket number entries. The class prompts a ticket agent to enter a six-digit ticket number. Ticket numbers are designed so that if you drop the last digit of the number, then divide the number by 7, the remainder of the division will be identical to the last dropped digit. This process is illustrated in the following example: Step 1. Enter the ticket number; for example, 123454. Step 2. Remove the last digit, leaving 12345. Step 3. Determine the remainder when the ticket number is divided by 7. In this case, 12345 divided by 7 leaves a remainder of 4. Step 4. Assign the Boolean value of the comparison between the remainder and the digit dropped from the ticket number. Step 5. Display the result—true or false—in a message box.

- Assignment: Dice Rolling Program Objective: Create a Java program that rolls two dice and displays the results. The program should have two Java classes: one for a single die and another for a pair of dice. Assignment Details: User Input: Ask the user to specify the number of sides they want on each die. Ensure that the user's input is within a reasonable range. Dice Rolling: Simulate rolling the dice using Math.random() based on the user's chosen number of sides. Display the sum of the values rolled, e.g., "5 + 3 = 8." Special Combinations: If the dice roll results in combinations of 2, 7, or 12, print special messages: "1 + 1 = 2 snake eyes!" "3 + 4 = 7 craps!" "6 + 6 = 12 box cars!" Main Method: In the main method, create a pair of dice, roll them, and display the results. Allow the user to decide whether to continue rolling the dice or exit the program. Additional Features: You are welcome to add more features or enhancements to the program if desired.

These values should be assigned to the object's yearModel and speed fields.The constructor should also assign 0 to the speed field. Accessors: Design appropriate accessor methods to get the values stored in an object's yearModel and speed fields. accelerate: The accelerate method should add 5 to the speed field each time is called. brake: The brake method should subtract 5 from the speed field each time it is called. Next, design a program that creates a Car object, and then calls the accelerate method five times. After each call to the accelerate method, get the current speed ofthe car and…arrow_forward
