Dora has $8$ rods with lengths $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7$ and $8$ cm. Dora chooses $4$ of the rods and uses them to assemble a trapezoid (the $4$ chosen rods must be the $4$ sides). How many different trapezoids can she obtain in this way? Two trapezoids are considered different if they are not congruent.
