What is the length of BC

The diagram shows a trapezium ABCD with AB parallel to DC. E is a point on AD such that DE is perpendicular to DC. The length of AD is x cm and the length of DE is y cm. Given that: The area of triangle AED is x²/4 The area of the trapezium ABCD is x² + 16cm^2 Find an expression for the length of BC in terms of x
