Question:

In the figure , a circle touches all the four sides of a quadrilateral ABCD whose sides AB = 6.5 cm, BC = 5.4 cm and CD = 5.3 cm. The length of AD is :

Options:

4.6 cm

6.4 cm

5.8 cm

6.2 cm

Correct Answer:

6.4 cm

Explanation:

We have,

AB = 6.5 cm,

 BC = 5.4 cm,

 CD = 5.3 cm

We know that,

AP = AS, BP = BQ, CR = CQ, DR = DS

= (AP + PB) + (DR + RC) = (BQ + QC) + (AS + DS)

= AB + CD = AD + BC

= 6.5 + 5.3 = AD + 5.4

= 11.8 = AD + 5.4

= AD = 11.8 - 5.4  = 6.4 cm
