Draw the figure. If the height is h, then you have a 40-by-h rectangle in the center, with extra lengths of x and 25-x on the longer base.

x^2+h^2 = 56^2
(25-x)^2+h^2 = 39^2

x^2-56^2 = (25-x)^2 - 39^2
x = 224/5

so, h^2 = 56^2-x^2 = 28224/25
h = 168/5

so, the area is (40+65)/2 * 168/5 = 1764
Really appreciate work
it's helpfull
Good answer but my answer is come wrong
Ok but not good because my ans is so easy and simple and your ans is different from me
