Trapezoid is a figure with 4 sides and has 1 equal sides.
The formula for the area of trapezoid is A= h(b1+b2)/2 where h is height, b1 is base1 and b2 is base2.
Substitute the value of the given; b1=4 in, b2=6 in, h=9 in
A= h(b1+b2)/2
A= 9(4+6)/2
A= 9(10)/2
A= 90/2
A= 45 inches squared.
The are of the trapezoid is 45 inches squared.
