Ok. So there are 3 steps. Step 1 using length of simillar triangle since the smaller triangle is 3 cm and the bigger one is 9 cm its ratio is 1:3 . Step 2 finding area ratio hence is 1:9 as you square both ratios then using the 7 cm as the area of traingle aeb you can find the bigger triangle which 63 cm square. Lastly use trapezium formula 1/2 × sum of parallel sides therefore i used 1/2 × 3×9= 13.5. And now you can use the area of bigger triangle over the trapezium area which is 63/13.5 which is 14/3. As you use 63 divided by 13.5 to find the ratio.
