Answer:
By data, it's an isosceles trapezium. Altitude is not provided. On either side, a right triangle can be constructed, with 12 cm hypotenuse and one leg 6 cm.
By Pythagoras theorem,
Altitude, h = √(12²-6²) = √(12+6)(12–6) = √(18)(6) = √108 = 6√3
Area(trapezium) = ½(28+40)(6√3) = 68×3√3 = 204√3 cm
