1. Write a program to find an absolute path from an input relative path.  While it is assumed that the current path is Program.Directory.
   For example, if the current directory is “C:\Users\Nonki\Documents”,
   Input “..” → Output “C:\Users\Nonki”
   Input “test” → Output C:\Users\Nonki\Documents\test”
2. Draw (or fill) a Trapezoid.
