To find the area of a parallelogram, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Area} = \text{Base} \times \text{Height} \]
In your case, it seems you mentioned three measurements: 6 cm, 8 cm, and 12 cm. To determine which dimensions to use, we need to clarify the base and height.
Assuming you'd like to use 12 cm as the base and 6 cm as the height (the most typical configuration), the area would be calculated as follows:
\[ \text{Area} = 12 , \text{cm} \times 6 , \text{cm} = 72 , \text{cm}² \]
Thus, the area of the parallelogram is:
\[ A = 72 , \text{cm}² \]
