PROGRAM:Design a class named Rectangle to represent a rectangle. The class contains: Two double data fields named width and height that specify the width and height of the rectangle. The default values are 1 for both width and height. A string data field named color that specifies the color of a rectangle. Hypo-thetically, assume that all rectangles have the same color. The default color is white. A no- arg constructor that creates a default rectangle. A constructor that creates a rectangle with the specified width and height. The accessor and mutator methods for all three data fields. A method named getArea() that returns the area of this rectangle. A method named getPerimeter() that returns the perimeter.

Draw the UML diagram for the class. Implement the class. Write a test program that creates two Rectangle objects. Assign width 4 and height 40 to the first object and width 3.5 and height 35.9 to the second object. Assign color red to all Rectangle objects. Display the properties of both objects and find their areas and perimeters.

I'm not sure how to fix these two errors that i'm getting, what do i need to add? Could someone please help me?

The error message shows:
(1) in line 9 you call a non-existing constructor of 2 arguments. As your teacher requests, you should define "a constructor that creates a rectangle with the specified width and height" only. You did not do so. Instead you have defined a constructor with 3 arguments:width,height, and color.
(1) Similarly in line 10 you call the non-existing constructor with 2 double parameters again.
What you should do is to define (supplement) the constructor that creates a rectangle with the specified width and height only for the class Rectangle.
