AMC 12 2018a Problem 8

All of the triangles in the diagram below are similar to isosceles triangle $ABC$, in which $AB=AC$. Each of the $7$ smallest triangles has area $1,$ and $\triangle ABC$ has area $40$. What is the area of trapezoid $DBCE$?

dot((10,10));
dot((30,30));
draw((0,0)--(60,0)--(50,10)--(30,30)--(10,10)--(0,0));
draw((10,10)--(50,10));
label("$B$",(0,0),SW);
label("$C$",(60,0),SE);
label("$E$",(50,10),E);
label("$D$",(10,10),W);
label("$A$",(30,30),N);

draw((15,15)--(45,15));

$\textbf{(A) } 16 \textbf{(B) } 18 \textbf{(C) } 20 \textbf{(D) } 22 \textbf{(E) } 24$
