Description
Write a program titled “YourLastName_Geometry” which has 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 x 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 x Height x 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 driver program titled “YourLastName_Driver” to test the geometry class. The following shows an
example interaction of the driver and geometry classes captured in a file by the command “% script Driver.out”
(bolded areas represent the user’s input):

selecting an item from the menu.
Run the program with different inputs and capture all interaction in a file using the script command.
What to turn in:
