Quantity A: The area of trapezoid ABCD
Area of Trapezoid = (\(\frac{1}{2}\)) * Sum of Parallel Sides * Height
= (\(\frac{1}{2}\)) * (11+15) * 6 = 26 * 3 = 78
Quantity B: The area of parallelogram EFGH
Area of parallelogram = Base * Height = 4 * 18 = 72
So, Quantity A > Quantity B
So, Answer will be A
Hope it helps!
