Answer:

Area of trapezoid = 21 cm²

Explanation:

Given:

Length of rectangular shape = 4 cm

Width of rectangular shape = 3 cm

Base of triangle = 3 cm

Number of triangle = 3 cm

Find:

Area of trapezoid

Computation:

Area of trapezoid = Area of middle rectangle + Number of triangle[Area of triangle]

Area of trapezoid = [l x b] + 2[(1/2)(b)(h)]

Area of trapezoid = [4 x 3] + 2[(1/2)(3)(3)]

Area of trapezoid = 12 + 9

Area of trapezoid = 21 cm²
