<span>A pearl is not a mineral because it is created artificially. It is a gemstone, not a mineral because it is a composite of mineral Aragonite and a protein compound which is called conchiolin. Pearls are formed by organic and living organisms which is preserved to become a gemstone.</span>

No. Pearl is an organic substance

Pearl is an organic gemstone. It is a reaction to an irritant within a living pearl-producing mollusk. Mollusks have a soft body often protected by a shell such as calm, mussel, and oyster. Pearls are actually formed when the mollusk produce thousands of nacre. Pearls are commonly used in the jewellery industry.

For this lab you will write a class to create a user-defined type called Shapes to represent different shapes, their perimeters
maw [93]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u />

========= Shape.java  ===========

//import the Scanner class

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Shape{

   //required fields

  private String shape;

   private double area;

   private double perimeter;

   //default constructor

  public Shape(){

       this.shape = "unknown";

       this.area = 0.0;

       this.perimeter = 0.0;

   }

   //constructor with one parameter

   public Shape(String shape){

       this.setShape(shape);

       this.area = 0.0;

       if(this.getShape().equals("circle")){

           System.out.println("Enter the radius of the circle");

           double radius = scr.nextDouble();

           this.perimeter = 2 * 3.142 * radius;

       }

       else if(this.getShape().equals("rectangle")){

           System.out.println("Enter the width");

           double width = scr.nextDouble();

           System.out.println("Enter the height");

           double height = scr.nextDouble();

           this.perimeter = 2 * (width + height);

       }

       else if(this.getShape().equals("square")){

           System.out.println("Enter the height or width");

           double height = scr.nextDouble();

           this.perimeter = 4 * height;

       }

       else if(this.getShape().equals("unknown")){

           double radius = scr.nextDouble();

           this.area = 3.142 * radius * radius;

       }

       else if(this.getShape().equals("rectangle")){

           System.out.println("Enter the width");

           double width = scr.nextDouble();

           double height = scr.nextDouble();

           this.area = width * height;

       }

       else if(this.getShape().equals("square")){

           this.area = 0.0;

       }

   }

   //Own methods

   //1. Method to show the properties of a shape

   public void showProperties(){

       System.out.println();

       System.out.println("The properties of the shape are");

       System.out.println("Shape : " + this.getShape());

       System.out.println("Perimeter : " + this.getPerimeter());

       System.out.println("Area : " + this.getArea());

   

   }

   //2. Method to find and show the difference between the area and perimeter of a shape

   public void getDifference(){

       double diff = this.getArea() - this.getPerimeter();

       System.out.println();

       System.out.println("The difference is " + diff);

   }

}

========= ShapeTest.java  ===========

import java.util.Scanner;

public class ShapeTest {

   public static void main(String [] args){

       Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

       // create an unknown shape

       Shape shape_unknown = new Shape();

       //get the shape

       System.out.println("The shape is " + shape_unknown.getShape());

       //set the area

       shape_unknown.setArea(scanner);

       //get the area

       System.out.println("The area is " + shape_unknown.getArea());

       //set the perimeter

       shape_unknown.setPerimeter(scanner);

       //get the perimeter

       System.out.println("The perimeter is " + shape_unknown.getPerimeter());

       // create another shape - circle

       Shape shape_circle = new Shape("circle");

       //set the area

       shape_circle.setArea(scanner);

       //get the area

       System.out.println("The area is " + shape_circle.getArea());

       //set the perimeter

       shape_circle.setPerimeter(scanner);

       //get the area

       System.out.println("The perimeter is " + shape_circle.getArea());

       //get the properties

       shape_circle.showProperties();

       //get the difference between area and perimeter

       shape_circle.getDifference();

   }

}

<h2>Sample output:</h2>

The shape is unknown

You must define a shape first before calculating area

The area is 0.0

You must define a shape first before calculating perimeter

The perimeter is 0.0

Enter the radius of the circle

>> 12

The area is 452.448

Enter the radius of the circle

>> 12

The perimeter is 452.448

The properties of the shape are

Shape : circle

Perimeter : 75.408

Area : 452.448

The difference is 377.03999999999996
