The sum of the links of the two parallel sides is 5cm
Area of a trapezoid
The formula for calculating the area of a trapezoid is expressed as:
A = 0.5(a+b)h
where
h is the height of the trapezoid
a+b is the sum of the sides
Substitute
20 = 0.5(a+b)8
40 = 8(a+b)
a+b = 40/8
a+b = 5cm
Hence the sum of the links of the two parallel sides is 5cm
