When calculating areas, it is very useful to divide a complex shape into simpler ones.
This is an Alternative approach.
Since our trapezoid is isosceles, the two triangles on the sides are identical and have equal bases.
So, each has a base of (70 - 50)/2 = 10
Using the Pythagorean triplet 5-12-13, we know that the height of each triangle is 24.
So, our total area is (square + 2 triangles) = 50*24 + 10*24/2 + 10*24/2 = 60*24 = 1440
(D) is our answer.
