A terrain ( $ABCD$ ) has a rectangular trapezoidal shape. The angle in $A$ measures $90^o$. $AB$ measures $30$ m, $AD$ measures $20$ m and $DC$ measures 45 m. This land must be divided into two areas of the same area, drawing a parallel to the $AD$ side . At what distance from $D$ do we have to draw the parallel?
