C++ Design and implement a program (name it ComputeAreas) that defines four methods as follows: Method squareArea (double side) returns the area of a square. Method rectangleArea (double width, double length) returns the area of a rectangle. Method circleArea (double radius) returns the area of a circle. Method triangleArea (double base, double height) returns the area of a triangle. In the main method, test all methods with different input value read from the user. Document your code and properly label the input prompts and the outputs as shown below. Sample run: Square side: 5.1 Square area: 26.01 Rectangle width: 4.0 Rectangle length: 5.5 Rectangle area: 22.0 Circle radius: 2.5 Circle area: 19.625 Triangle base: 6.4 Triangle height: 3.6 Triangle area: 11.52

In C++, write a program that creates a two-dimensional array initialized with some integers. Have the following six functions: Total (total of all values in array), Average (average of values in array), Total of specific row (this needs 2 arguments, the array, like the others, and an integer for the subscript of any row. Total of specific Column (same as row), Max value in Row ( same as previous two, but return the highest value), Minimum Value ( same as previous).

I still wish to continue to manufacture safes in Australia but I would like procure the most costly parts from a cheaper source. I have heard of eMarketplaces but am unsure as to what types exist and how to progress. It is very important that the quality of these parts is consistently high. Please advise as to the options I have in purchasing from an eMarketplace, what marketplaces you recommend I use, and any risks specific to eMarketplaces that I need to be made aware. I look forward to your response. Thanks.

Most people lease for three years. When you purchase a car, you normally finance it with 60 month (5 year) loan. Compare two lease cycles to one purchase for the same car. Assume the second three-year lease costs are the same as the first lease. The car list cost is $27,450. The drive off fees associated with the lease are $1,250. Monthly lease payments are calculated on the three-year depreciation at 4.5% interest. Three-year depreciation is $12,692. The person buying the car is able to negotiate a $3,300 reduction in price and they put $2,400 down payment. The interest rate is 3.75%. The monthly payments are calculated on the net cost of the car. (Net cost = list cost-price reduction-down payment.) The sale value of the car at the end of six years is $9,787. What are the out of pocket costs for the lease compared to purchase? Both the lease and purchase must pay for routine maintenance and can be excluded from the analysis. The purchaser will have to spend $1,000 for a set of tires during the six years. The leaser does not have to pay for tires. At the end of a lease the leaser does not own a car, and must lease another car or purchase a car. Remember that the drive off fees are applicable to each lease. Compare the total out of pocket costs. Be sure to include the value of the 6-year-old car.
