Answer:

42 square centimeters

Explanation:

The total of sides FA and AB will be half the perimeter of the rectangle, or 14 cm. Since AB is 9 cm, that means FA is 5 cm.

EF is the difference between EF and FA, so is 11 cm -5 cm = 6 cm.

FC is the same 9 cm length as AB, so we have enough information about the trapezoid to use the area formula:

A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h

A = (1/2)(9 cm +5 cm)(6 cm) = 42 cm^2

The area of the trapezium is 42 cm^2.
