Title: Geometric Justice with Joe and Geometry Interfaces

Description:

Inspired by Nicolas Cage’s heartfelt role in Joe, this project harnesses the power of the Geometry Interfaces API to create an application focused on geometric calculations and visualizations. Just as Joe helps Gary find direction in his life, this project aims to guide users through the complexities of geometry, offering tools to calculate and visualize shapes and their properties. The project melds the themes of mentorship and growth from the film with the precision and clarity of geometric principles.

Features:

• Shape Calculations: Compute areas, perimeters, and other properties of basic geometric shapes.
• Interactive Canvas: Visualize shapes dynamically based on user input.
• Educational Insights: Provide explanations and insights into geometric concepts, echoing the mentorship theme of Joe.

Starting Code:

Beginner Hints:

• Create a single index.html file.
• Copy the full HTML code block into that file.
• Open index.html in your browser. If something doesn’t work, try a local server like python -m http.server.
• Open DevTools Console to spot errors and typos quickly.
