We must remember the equation to find the area of a trapezoid first.
Area = [tex] \frac{A+B}{2} *H[/tex]
A and B are the bases (6 and 12)
The height is 6 for each trapezoid
Now Solve!
====================================================================
SOLVING...
Area = [tex] \frac{6 + 12}{2} * 6[/tex]
Area = [tex] \frac{18}{2} * 6[/tex]
Area = 9 * 6
Area = 54
Since there are two trapezoids, multiply 54 by 2
54 x 2 = 108
Area = 108
