Answer:

area = 36 m^2

perimeter = 34m

Explanation:

Area of a trapezoid is calculated by the following formula:

(a+b)/2 * h (a: base, b: base, h:height)

(6+12)/2 * 4 = 36 the area is 36 m^2

The perimeter is calculated by adding all side lengths or multiplying the sum of non-parallel sides by 2

Only the measure of AB=AC is missing to find it we can use the method in attached photo

and the perimeter is:

(12+5)*2 = 34
