ANSWER: 182 inches

Explanation:

Since, it is an isosceles trapezoid, then area of an isosceles triangle is given by:
(1 (a+b))/(2) × h

where a and b are the two parallel sides of the triangle and h is the height of an isosceles triangle.

Now, a= 12 inches and b= 2+2+12=16 inches and h=13 inches.


(1 (12+16))/(2) × 13 = 182 inches
