Answer:
A = 18 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a trapezium is calculated as
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] h ( b₁ + b₂ )
where h is the perpendicular height and b₁, b₂ the parallel bases
By counting squares
h = 3, b₁ = 3, b₂ = 9 , then
A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 3 × (3 + 9) = 1.5 × 12 = 18 units²
