First, identify the lengths of the two bases and the height of the trapezoid.
Base 1 (b1) = 16m
Base 2 (b2) = 8m
Height (h) = 12m
Next, plug these values into the formula for the area of a trapezoid:
A = 1/2(b1 + b2)h
A = 1/2(16 + 8)12
A = 1/2(24)12
A = 12 * 12
A = 144 square meters
Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is 144 square meters.
