A trapezium inscribes a circle that touches all its sides and the line connecting the mid-points of the non-parallel sides of the trapezium divides the trapezium in such a way that the area of one part is half the area of the other part. If the lengths of the non-parallel sides be 8 cm and 16 cm, find the length of the shortest side of the trapezium.
