The volume of a cylinder is equal to the height times the area of the circular base. The area of the circular base is equal to π (pi) times the square of the radius. The code segment below is intended to compute and print the volume of a cylinder with radius r and height h. Assume that the double variables r, h, and pi have been properly declared and initialized. / missing code / System.out.print(volume); Which of the following can be used to replace / missing code / so that the code segment works as intended? I. double baseArea = pi r r; double volume = baseArea * h; II. double volume = pi r r; volume = volume * h; III. double volume = pi r r * h;
I, II, and III

The Coin class, as defined in Chapter 4, consists of a constructor, and methods flip, isHeads and toString. The method isHeads returns true if the last flip was a Heads, and false if the last flip was a Tails. The toString method returns a String equal to "Heads" or "Tails" depending on the result of the last flip. Using this information, answer questions 16 - 17A set of code has already instantiated c to be a Coin and has input a String guess, from the user asking whether the user guesses that a coin flip will result in "Heads" or "Tails". Which of the following sets of code will perform the coin flip and see if the user's guess was right or wrong? a. c.flip( ); if(c.isHeads( ).equals(guess)) System.out.println("User is correct"); ___________________________________________________________________________ b. if(c.flip( ).equals(guess)) System.out.println("User is correct"); ___________________________________________________________________________ c. if(c.isHeads( ).equals(guess)) System.out.println("User is correct"); c.flip( ); ___________________________________________________________________________ d. if(c.toString( ).equals(guess)) System.out.println("User is correct"); ___________________________________________________________________________ e. c.flip( ).toString( ); if(c.equals(guess)) System.out.println("User is correct");
