Let's take a $ABCD$ rectangle of paper; the side $AB$ measures $5$ cm and the side $BC$ measures $9$ cm. We do three folds: 1.We take the $AB$ side on the $BC$ side and call $P$ the point on the $BC$ side that coincides with $A$. A right trapezoid $BCDQ$ is then formed. 2. We fold so that $B$ and $Q$ coincide. A $5$-sided polygon $RPCDQ$ is formed. 3. We fold again by matching $D$ with $C$ and $Q$ with $P$. A new right trapezoid $RPCS$. After making these folds, we make a cut perpendicular to $SC$ by its midpoint $T$, obtaining the right trapezoid $RUTS$. Calculate the area of the figure that appears as we unfold the last trapezoid $RUTS$.
