This week's discussion assignment is to find the area of an unusual shape. Note: you'll need a ruler or some other measuring device to do this assignment. Here's what I'd like you to do:

1. Find a flat object with an unusual shape. A good object to use is a leaf, but you can pick something else if you'd like.
2. Approximate the area of your shape using rectangles or triangles. Keep the methods of Section 5.1 in mind as you proceed.
3. Document your process via pictures.

On the discussion board, post: a picture of your object & a written description of what you did. Make sure to include the shape you used to approximate the area (rectangles or triangles) and what your found the approximate area to be.
