#Area = 242 cm^2#

The Area of a Trapezoid is represented by the equation:
#Area = frac{b_1+b_2}{2}*h#

where #b_1 =# one base
#b_2 = # the other base
and
#h = # the height

plugging this in will get us:
#Area = frac{18+26}{2} * 11#
#Area = frac{44}{2}*11#
#Area = 22*11#
#Area = 242 leftarrow# answer
