To find the area of a trapezoid, you can use the formula:
Area = (1/2) * (sum of the lengths of the bases) * (height)
In this case, the length of the bases would be 12 cm and 2 cm, and the height is 6 cm (the distance between the bases).
Plugging these values into the formula:
Area = (1/2) * (12 cm + 2 cm) * (6 cm)
Area = (1/2) * (14 cm) * (6 cm)
Area = 7 cm * 6 cm
Area = 42 cm²
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 42 cm².
