Can you find the area of a trapezoid only by knowing that the parallel sides are 12 and 23 centimeters long, respectively?

The area A of a trapezoid is given by A = (1/2) height *(base1 + base2) The two bases are given as 12 and 23 cm, however, the height is not given and therefore there is not enough information to find the area of the trapezoid.
