Answer: 78 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of the given figure, first we need to look at the shape type. It's a five-sided shape, but it's irregular. We can break it into multiple shapes to easily find the area. We will break it up into a trapezoid and a rectangle. See attached for how I did this.
Area of Figure = Area of a Rectangle + Area of a Trapezoid
Area = (LW) + (0.5H(B1+B2))
Area = (2*12) + (0.5(6)(12+6))
Area = (24) + (0.5(6)(18))
Area = (24) + (54)
Area = 78 cm²
C. 78 cm²
