    21 square inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Use any numbers within reason that multiply to 36

    Ex: H=9, Lower base = 2, Upper base = 5

    2/3 of 2=1. 1/3

    2/3 of 5 = 3 1/3

    1. 1/3+3. 1/3=4 2/3

    4 2/3 x 9 = 42

    42/2 = 21

    (The beginning dimensions do not matter, as long as they equal 36.)
