Question Four
Create a class called Parallelogram that includes two pieces of information as
instance variables – a base (type double) and a height (type double). Your class
should have a constructor that initializes the two instance variables. Provide a set
and a get method for each instance variable. In addition, provide a method named
calculateArea that calculates the area, then returns the area as a double value.
Write a test application named ParallelogramTest that demonstrates class
Parallelogram’s capabilities. Use the following formula for the area of the
parallelogram:
area = bh [20 marks]
Question Five
Create a class called Member that includes three pieces of information as instance
variables – a full name (type String), age (type int) and salary (type double). Your
class should have a constructor that initializes the three instance variables. Provide
a method called printMemberDetails for displaying member’s details. The class
Manager inherits from class Member and defines one more additional piece of
information as its instance variable – department (type String). Write a test
application named ManagerTest that demonstrates class Manager’s capabilities.
