Question 0-5

Define a new class Rect that can be used to create an object representing a rectangle. The constructor method for Rect should take two parameters, both doubles: the rectangle's width and the rectangle's height. The class should support the following object methods.

`double getPerimeter()`	Returns the length of the rectangle's perimeter.
`double getArea()`	Returns the area of the rectangle.
`boolean canContain(Rect other)`	Returns `true` if `other` can fit within the rectangle. (in its current configuration or rotated 90 degrees).

public class Rect {
    // your answer here...


}

Solution

public class Rect {
    private double width;
    private double height;

    public Rect(double w, double h) {
        width = w;
        height = h;
    }

    public double getPerimeter() {
        return 2 * width + 2 * height;
    }

    public double getArea() {
        return width * height;
    }

    public boolean canContain(Rect other) {
        return (width >= other.width && height >= other.height)
            || (width >= other.height && height >= other.width);
    }
}
