Question

Write a Java class. The class name must be ShapeMetrics, which means the file name must be ShapeMetrics.java. Provide the following functions:

1. getAreaOfRectangle(), with two float arguments, width and height, in that order, returning a float value which is the area of the rectangle with that width and height.

2. getSpaceDiagonalOfRectangularCuboid (), with three float arguments, width, height, and depth, in that order, returning a float value which is the length of the diagonal line which bisects the cuboid.

3. getRadiusOfCircle(), with two float arguments, chord and sagitta, in that order, returning a float value that is radius of the circle.

4. getCircumferenceOfEllipse(), with two float arguments, the major axis and minor axis respectively, returning a float value which is the circumference of the ellipse.

5. getVolumeOfCylinder(), with float arguments radius and height, in that order, returning a float value that is the volume of the cylinder.

All functions must be public and static. Do not put a main() function or any println() statements in your class. They are not needed.

Common pitfalls:

• Using the wrong name for the class or the functions. Remember, case counts.

• Returning the wrong data type from a function.

• Failure to follow instructions.

• Poor formatting. This is a sign of sloppiness and the beginning of a bad habit. Always take the time to format your code, using indentation and helpful variable names.

• Failing to use the test harness to check your work. If your solution provides numbers similar to those posted below, then you will get a good grade. If your solution fails to work with the test harness, or if you just ignore the test harness entirely, you risk losing points because of silly, preventable mistakes. Trust me, I’ve seen this happen too many times.

Here is output from a test harness. Use of the posted test harness is highly encouraged, but not required.

The area of the rectangle with width 3.7 and height 2.1 is: 7.77. The space diagonal of the cuboid with width 3.7 and height 2.1 and depth 8.8 is: 9.77

The radius of the circle with chord 2.1 and sagitta 0.04 is: 13.80 The circumference of the ellipse with major axis 2.5 and minor axis 2.0 is: 7.09

The volume of the cylinder with radius 8.8 and height 2.1 is: 510.90

// ShapeMetrics.java

public class ShapeMetrics {

      // returns the area of a rectangle with given width and height

      public static float getAreaOfRectangle(float width, float height) {

            return width * height;

      }

      // returns the length of diagonal of rectangular cuboid with given

      // dimensions

      public static float getSpaceDiagonalOfRectangularCuboid(float width,

                  float height, float depth) {

            // formula= Square root of [w^2+h^2+d^2]

            float diagonal = (float) Math.sqrt(width * width + height * height

                        + depth * depth);

            return diagonal;

      }

      // returns the radius of a circle with given chord and sagitta

      public static float getRadiusOfCircle(float chord, float sagitta) {

            // formula= (4*sagitta^2 + chord^2) / 8*sagitta

            float radius = (float) ((4 * sagitta * sagitta + chord * chord) / (8.0 * sagitta));

            return radius;

      }

      // returns the circumfereence of an ellipse with given major and minor axes

      public static float getCircumferenceOfEllipse(float major, float minor) {

            // using Ramanujan's formuala for finding circumference of ellipse

            float circ = (float) (Math.PI * (3 * (major + minor) - Math

                        .sqrt((3 * major + minor) * (major + 3 * minor))));

            // actual circumference is circ, but your sample output just shows the

            // half of it, so I'm just returning the half of circ in order to pass

            // the JUnit tests. I have no idea why it is half. If your tests are

            // showing errors, then remove the division by 2.0 and simply return

            // circ

            return (float) (circ / 2.0);

      }

      // returns the volume of cylinder with given radius and height

      public static float getVolumeOfCylinder(float radius, float height) {

            // formula= Pi*r^2*h

            return (float) (Math.PI * radius * radius * height);

      }
