14. Max has just started working with area, and so far he knows how to find the area of rectangles, parallelograms and triangles. How could Max use that knowledge to figure out the area of the trapezoid below? (DO NOT use the formula for a trapezoid. Notice how you can tell the lengths of sides by counting, so you don't have to use a,b, and h like in Chapter 7 Problem 2. Just break it up into triangles/ rectangles/parallelograms and find the area of each and then add them together).

Nick cuts a piece of string so that it goes all they way around the outside of the shape and then forms his piece of string into a square on top of graph paper. Using the graph paper Nick gets a good estimate for the area of his string square and then uses the square’s area in his estimate for the area of the original irregular shape. Discuss whether Nick’s method is a legitimate way to estimate the area of irregular shapes.
