Answer:

9 unitsĀ²

Explanation:

This is a trapezium.

The length of the two parallel lines (on top and bottom) are 5 units and 1 units.

The height of the trapezium is 3 units. Using these information, we can apply the formula for area of trapezium to find the answer.

Area = 1/2 (5 + 1) x 3 = 9 unitsĀ²
