Trapezoid - hard example

Bases of the trapezoid are: 24, 16 cm. Diagonal 22, 26 cm.
Calculate its area and perimeter.

Correct answer:

S =  264 cm2
o =  67.9663 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a=24 cm c=16 cm  u=22 cm v=26 cm w=a+c=24+16=40 cm  s=2u+v+w​=222+26+40​=44 cm  S=s⋅ (s−w)⋅ (s−u)⋅ (s−v)​=44⋅ (44−40)⋅ (44−22)⋅ (44−26)​=264 cm2
