Pablo wrote $5$ numbers on one sheet and then wrote the numbers $6,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11$ and $ 12$ on another sheet that he gave Sofia, indicating that those numbers are the possible sums of two of the numbers that he had hidden. Decide if with this information Sofia can determine the five numbers Pablo wrote .

Let $ABCD$ be an isosceles trapezoid, whose dimensions are $AB = 6$, $BC=5=DA$, and $CD=4$. Draw circles of radius 3 centered at $A$ and $B$, and circles of radius 2 centered at $C$ and $D$.
