A rough sketch helps,,,label as answer arise
.
ADE is a rt triangle,,with AE = 5,,,DE =13,,,given
.
using pythagorous theorem,,c^2 = a^2 +b^2.
.
13 ^2 = 5^2 + ad^2,,,,ad = 12 ,,,,,,,(a)
.
CB =AD =12,,,,,,and DC=AB =20,,,,,given,,, therefore BE =15 (Ab - AE = BE)
.
Per EBCD = 15 +12 +20+13 = 60,,,,,, (b)
.
Area (AED) = 1/2 * 5 * 12 = 30,,,,,,(c)
.
Area (ABCD) = 20 *12 +240,,,,,(d)
.
Area(EBCD) = 1/2 *(15 +20) *12 = 210
.
