Answer:
The applet would draw ten circles, as before, but they would be smaller circles.
Smaller Circles
The circles are not side-by-side, and since their left side is touching the left edge of the lines that divide the drawing into 10 regions, the row of circles is shifted left a bit. Here is the modified applet:
import javax.swing.JApplet; import java.awt.*; // Assume that the drawing area is 300 by 150. // Draw ten red circles side-by-side across the drawing area. public class TenSmallCircles extends JApplet { final int width = 300, height = 150; public void paint ( Graphics gr ) { gr.setColor( Color.red ); int diameter = 20; int Y = height/2 - diameter/2; // the top edge of the squares int count = 0 ; while ( count < 10 ) { int X = count*width/10; // the left edge of each square gr.drawOval( X, Y, diameter, diameter ); count = count + 1; } } }
And here is the pretty picture that it draws on your screen:
Here is a picture of the situation with the guide lines drawn in:
It would be nice if the circles were all shifted right.
QUESTION 16:
To make the leftmost circle the same distance from the left edge of the drawing as the rightmost circle is from the right edge, what distance should be circles be shifted?
