In ΔABE,

⇒ cos30° = AE/AB

⇒ AE = 6√3 cm

⇒ sin30° = BE/AB

⇒ BE = 6 cm

In ΔCFD,

⇒ tan45° = CF/FD

⇒ FD = 6 cm [∵ BE = CF = 6cm]

⇒ AD = AE + EF + FD

⇒ AD = 6√3 + 6 + 6 cm

⇒ AD = 12 + 6√3 cm

⇒ Area of trapezium = 1/2 × (sum of parallel sides) × height

⇒ Area of trapezium = 1/2 × (BC + AD) × BE

∴ Area of trapezium = 1/2 × (12 + 6√3 + 6) × 6 = 18(3 + √3) cm2
