I have a question with an assignment. I'm not sure how to write this program and I really need help! Could someone help me with this? This is the assignment: Write a program that asks the user to enter two values: an integer choice and a real number x. If choice is 1, compute and display the area of a circle of radius x. If choice is 2, compute and display the are of a square with sides of length x. If choice is neither 1, nor 2, will display the text Invalid choice.
Sample run:
Enter choice: 2
Enter x: 8
The area is: 64.0
Sample run:
Enter choice: 1
Enter x: 8
The area is: 201.06176
My attempt:
choice = input ('Enter Choice:')
choice_1 = int (choice)
if (choice_1==1): radius = (int)
print('Enter x:',radius)
pi = 3.14159
area = ( radius ** 2 ) * pi
print ( 'The Area is=' , area )
