Answer:

C. 36 square units

Explanation:

Since the trapezoids is divided equally so

Area of 2 trapezoid= 2(1/2*h*(side1+side2))

=2(1/2*12*(8+4))=144 square units

again

Area of whole rectangle= length*breadth

=(3+4+8)*12=180 square units

Again

the combined area of the two right triangles= Area of whole rectangle-Area of trapezoid

=80 square units-144 square units

=36 square units
