Step 1: In the figure, ABCD is a trapezoid with parallel bases AB and CD and height, DS.
Step 2: Area of ABCD = 12 h(b1 + b2)[b1 and b2 are the parallel bases and h is the height.]
Step 3: = 12 × 4 × (3 + 6)[Substitute the values of bases and height.]
Step 4: = 12 × 4 × 9 = 18 m2[Simplify.]
Step 5: So, the area of the trapezoid ABCD is 18 m2.
