Here is a solution from Adam and Chris at Moorfield School:

"A square appears becase the amount of squares on the sides of triangle are more than the sides of the trapezium. The square comes from the triangle.

Chris and Adam's solution.

The sloping sides don't fit exactly so they give you an extra square.
