Diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are perpendicular to each other. The length of its leg is 26 cm. An altitude from the vertex of an obtuse angle to the base divides the longer base into two parts, such that the shorter part is 10 cm long. What is the area of this trapezoid?

Please answer as soon as possible. Will be awarded 60 points!!!
