The green triangle is isosceles, with equal sides of length ( 12 + 6 ) 2 + 6 2 = 6 10 \sqrt {(12+6)^2+6^2}=6\sqrt {10} each and base of length 1 2 2 + 1 2 2 = 12 2 \sqrt {12^2+12^2}=12\sqrt {2} . Hence it's height is ( 6 10 ) 2 ( 6 2 ) 2 = 12 2 \sqrt {(6\sqrt {10})^2-(6\sqrt 2)^2}=12\sqrt 2 , and area is 1 2 × 12 2 × 12 2 = 144 \dfrac{1}{2}\times {12\sqrt 2}\times {12\sqrt2}=\boxed {144}

By Pythagorean Theorem,

a = 1 2 2 + 1 2 2 = 12 2 a = \sqrt{12^2 + 12^2} = 12\sqrt{2}

b = 1 8 2 + 6 2 = 6 10 b = \sqrt{18^2 + 6^2} = 6\sqrt{10}

c = 1 8 2 + 6 2 = 6 10 c = \sqrt{18^2 + 6^2} = 6\sqrt{10}

The area can be found using any method. The area is 144 \boxed{144}
