Write Rectangle class to represent a rectangle. The class contains:a. Two double data fields named width and height that specify the width and height ofthe rectangle. The default values are 1 for both width and height.b. A no-arg constructor that creates a default rectangle.c. A constructor that creates a rectangle with the specified width and height.d. A method named getArea() that returns the area of this rectangle.e. A method named getPerimeter() that returns the perimeter.
Define the Circle2DYourLastName class that contains: Two double data fields names x and y that specify the center of the circle withgetter methods. A double data field radius with getter method. A constructor that creates a circle with specified x, y, and radius. A method findTypeOfIntersection to determine and return types ofintersection as string (contained, overlap, or separate).Design a user class that prompts the user to enter the coordinates of the center andradius of two circles and displays the type of intersection. Allow the user to repeat yourprogram using a ConfirmDialog Box.
