In the figure, a circle is located inside a trapezoid with two right angles so that a point of tangency of the circle is the midpoint of the side perpendicular to the two bases. The circle also has points of tangency on each base of the trapezoid. The diameter of the circle is $\frac{2}{3}$ the length of $EF$. If the area of the circle is $9\pi$ square units, what is the area of the trapezoid?

Emily has an infinite number of balls and empty boxes available to her. The empty boxes, each capable of holding four balls, are arranged in a row from left to right. At the first step, she places a ball in the first box of the row. At each subsequent step, she places a ball in the first box of the row that still has room for a ball and empties any previous boxes. How many balls in total are in the boxes as a result of Emily's $2017$th step? $\text{(A) }9\qquad\text{(B) }11\qquad\text{(C) }13\qquad\text{(D) }15\qquad\text{(E) }17$
