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:

Geometry Calculator

  1. 1. Calculate the Area of a Circle
  2. 2. Calculate the Area of a Rectangle
  3. 3. Calculate the Area of a Triangle
  4. 4. Quit

Enter your choice (1-4):

Display an error message if the user enters a number outside the range of 1 through 4 when selecting an item from the menu.

6.3A-3. Multiple Access protocols (3). Consider the figure below, which shows the arrival of 6 messages for transmission at different multiple access wireless nodes at times t=0.1, 1.4, 1.8, 3.2, 3.3, 4.1. Each transmission requires exactly one time unit. 1 t=0.0 2 3 45 t=1.0 t-2.0 t-3.0 6 t=4.0 t-5.0 For the CSMA protocol (without collision detection), indicate which packets are successfully transmitted. You should assume that it takes .2 time units for a signal to propagate from one node to each of the other nodes. You can assume that if a packet experiences a collision or senses the channel busy, then that node will not attempt a retransmission of that packet until sometime after t=5. Hint: consider propagation times carefully here. (Note: You can find more examples of problems similar to this here B.] ☐ U ப 5 - 3 1 4 6 2
Just wanted to know, if you had a scene graph, how do you get multiple components from a specific scene node within a scene graph? Like if I wanted to get a component from wheel from the scene graph, does that require traversing still?   Like if a physics component requires a transform component and these two component are part of the same scene node. How does the physics component knows how to get the scene object's transform it is attached to, this being in a scene graph?
