I think I got it. Correct me if I am wrong.
Parallelogram diagram I believe down below. We must find the height and then the area using Pythagorean theorem. Since the green shaded part is a 30-60-90 triangle, the base is 1/2 the hypotenuse, therefore it is 3. Now we calculate the height with it.
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
A^2 + 3^2 = 6^2
A^2 + 9 = 36
A^2 = 27
A = 3√3
Therefore the height is 3√3
Now calculate the area using A = bh
A = bh
= (12)(3√3)
= 36√3
So the area is 36√3 square units.
I cannot be sure of this answer because you did not provide a diagram.
