Answer:
78 sqr units
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to help find the base opposite the two.
The base of the second parallel line is sqrt( (15^2) - (12^2) ) = sqrt(81) = 9
The second base = 9 + 2 = 11
Area = (b1 + b2)*h/2
h = 12
b1 = 2
b2 = 11
h = 12
Area = (11 + 2)*12/2
Area = 13 * 12/2
Area = 78 square units
