Access to Superclass Features

• Why does the HouseShape constructor call add?
  

  public HouseShape()
  {
     add(new Rectangle(...));
     add(new Triangle(...));
  }
  

• Why not just
  path.append(new Rectangle(...));
• HouseShape inherits path field
  
• HouseShape can't access path
• path is private to superclass
