&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I came to bring you the correct solution.



&lt;pre&gt;
Area = (height) * (sum of bases)/2


    18 = h * 6/2


    h = 18/3 = 6


square area = 6 * 6 = 36 ft^2.     &lt;U&gt;ANSWER&lt;/U&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;
