The area of the quadrilateral can be calculated by finding the area of the rectangle and the triangle separately, and then adding them together.
Area of the rectangle = length x width
= 9 cm x 6 cm
= 54 cm^2
Area of the triangle = 1/2 x base x height
= 4 cm x 3 cm x 1/2
= 6 cm^2
Total area of the quadrilateral = area of rectangle + area of triangle
= 54 cm^2 + 6 cm^2
= 60 cm^2
Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 60 square centimeters.
