I don't think the solution is correct. The height is the radius if and only if the trapezoid is symmetrical. But it doesn't have to be. In fact, take a line segment of length 12 and start a 20 degree angle from one side and 70 from the other (for the diagonals). Intersect them and keep going until there is 4 long parallel line. Then increase the 20 degree angle - the height will increase and the area too.
