Answer:

18 cm^2

Explanation:

The legs of a right triangle are the base and height of the triangle.

Since C is a right angle, AB is the hypotenuse.

AC and BC are the legs and the base and height.

sin 75 = BC/12

BC = 12 sin 75

cos 75 = AC/12

AC = 12 cos 75

area = bh/2 = (12 sin 75)(12 cos 75)/2

area = 18 cm^2
