Description of the classes Shape, Circle, Rectangle and CreateShapes are given below:

i. Implement a class Shape that stores the following information about a shape. The
class Shape has protected data fields: name of type string, colour of type string.
The class Shape contains a constructor that takes the name and colour of the
shape as parameters, a pure virtual function getArea() and a display() function
that displays the details of the shape.
[8 marks]

ii. Implement a class Circle that inherits from Shape. The class Circle contains a
private field radius and constructor that takes the name, colour and radius of the
circle as parameters and intialises all fields. Moreover it contains a getArea()
function that returns the area and a display() function that displays the details of
the circle object.
[8 marks]

iii. Implement a class Rectangle that inherits from Shape. The Rectangle class will
have the length and breadth as fields. The class Rectangle contains two
constructors, namely one that takes the name, colour and the two sides of a
rectangle as parameters and the other that takes the name, colour and the length
of a square (a special rectangle with equal sides) as parameters. Moreover it
contains a getArea() function that returns the area of the rectangle and a display()
function that displays the details of a rectangle object.
[8 marks]

iv. Implement a class CreateShapes that creates a circle object and two rectangle
objects with following information:

circle blue 3 cm
square red 78 cm
