In this article, we will see how to design a Geometry Calculator using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. A Geometry calculator is used to calculate the area and parameters of different shapes and figures, like circles, rectangles, squares, triangles, etc. This can be helpful in cases where one wants to calculate the circumference or the area covered by any geometrical figure. In this article, we will learn how to create a geometry calculator that can calculate the area and parameters of geometrical shapes of rectangles, circles, and triangles.
Preview
Approach
- Make a dropdown menu that allows the user to select a geometric shape, such as a rectangle, triangle, or circle.
- Now, provide input fields for length, breadth, and height, depending on the shape that you have selected.
- Clicks on the “Calculate” button, the function will determine the result for the selected shape.
- When the user selects a different shape after clicking on the “Calculate” button, the results are shown by clicking again on calculate button.
Example: In this example, we will see how to design a geometry calculator by using HTML CSS javascript.
