Yes, 21 cm is the correct length.
3 times the perimeter of a single trapezoid is 288 cm.
288-204 = 84cm. 84 cm corresponds to 4 times the length of PQ. Twice for the overlap between the top 2 trapezoids in Fig. 2 and twice for the overlap between the top left and the trapezoid just below in the same figure.
84/4=21 cm.

Oh, I see where you made the mistake. You did actual math instead of just guessing 42....
Don't worry, it happens to the best of us.
