Step-by-step explanation:
area of the trapezoid = area of the 2 triangles +
area of the rectangle
i) area of triangle on left:
a = ½ bh
a = ½ × 2 × 9
a = 9 in²
ii) area of triangle on right:
a = ½ bh
a = ½ × 2 × 9
a = 9 in²
iii) area of rectangle = length × width
a = l × w
a = 12 × 9
a = 108 in²
iv) area of trapezoid = 9 + 9 + 108
= 126 in²
hope this helps you!
