Explanation:

Step1: Identify base and height

The base of the parallelogram \(AD = 3 + 6=9\) inches and the height \(h = 4\) inches.

Step2: Apply area formula

The area formula for a parallelogram is \(A = b\times h\), where \(b\) is the base and \(h\) is the height. Substitute \(b = 9\) and \(h = 4\) into the formula: \(A=9\times4 = 36\) square - inches.
