Answer: A = 15 units²

Explanation:

The figure has 1 pair of parallel sides and is therefore a trapezium.

The area (A) of a trapezium is calculated as

A = h (b₁ + b₂ )

where h is the perpendicular height between bases and b₁, b₂ are bases

here h = 3, b₁ = 3 , b₂ = 7 , then

A = × 3 × (3 + 7) = 1.5 × 10 = 15 units²
