The area of the figure is 180 cm².
How to calculate area of a parallelogram.
The area (A) of a parallelogram is calculated using the formula:
A = base*heigh
where the base is any side of the parallelogram, and the height is the perpendicular distance from that base tothe opposite side.
The given figure is a parallelogram
Area of parallelogram = b * h
Where
b is the base
h is the height
a = height
b = base(since opposite sides of parallelogram are congruent and equal)
h = 12 cm
b = 15 cm
Area = 12* 15
= 180 cm²
Therefore, area of the figure is 180 cm².
