To find the area of the quadrilateral, we need to find the area of the trapezoid formed by the top, base, and the line connecting the top and the base.
First, we need to find the height of the trapezoid:
height = 8 inches
Now, we can use the formula for the area of a trapezoid:
Area = (1/2)(top + base) * height
Area = (1/2)(12 + 18) * 8
Area = (1/2)(30) * 8
Area = 15 * 8
Area = 120 square inches
Therefore, the correct answer is 120 in^2.
