HEY I NEED HELP WITH THIS.

Write a programs that will prompt the user for a geometric shape (rectangle, square, triangle or circle) and the appropriate property (side, sides, radius), then return the area and perimeter (or circumference) of that geometric shape. Using a simple selection structure (if-else) may become very complicated, particularly if you have to modify the program later to include additional shapes. Organize the solution with series of user-defined methods and a menu which offers the user a series of choices using leters to identify letter options to identify the shape requested). Creating a menu of choices (which can also include the choice to terminate the program) might allow help to organize the program code.

Notes:

Input - The program should prompt user for a value corresponding to a shape (as listed below) & then for the properties specific to the shape selected. For example, if the user's response indicates a square, the program should prompt for one side, or if the user's response indicated a circle, the program should prompt for a radius.
Processing - compute the area/perimeter for the shape requested.
Output - The Area and Perimeter (or circumference) of the shape selected. The particulars are left to the programmer. Consider formatting the output for readability.
The program should prompt user on a choice through a menu display and repeat 1 - 3 (above) for each time the user selects a shape (through a value of 1 to 4 - see below).
The program should produce a "menu" of choices:
Choice Shape
1 Rectangle
2 Square
3 Triangle
4 Circle
5 Quit
6 Enter Choice:
