Answer:

60m^2

Explanation:

Ok so if you subtract the 18 by 12 then divide by two you get the missing lengths of each of te triangles. If you then use the area of a trapezoid formula (think about it like pulling one triangle off one side and putting it next to the other to make a rectangle) you just do L x W and get 60.
