In figure, a circle touches all the four sides of a quadrilateral ABCD/ whose sides AB = 6 cm, BC = 7 cm and CD = 4 cm. Find AD. 

<hr />

Since, length of two tangents drawn from an external point of circle are equal.
So,    AP = AS
BP = BQ DR = DS
and    RC = CQ
Adding all, we get
(AP + BP) + (DR + RC) = AS + BQ + DS + CQ
⇒ (AP + BP) + (DR + RC)
= (AS + DS) + (BQ + CQ)
⇒    AB + DC = AD + BC
⇒    6 + 4 = AD + 7
⇒    10 = AD + 7
AD = 10 – 7 = 3 cm
Hence, AD = 3 cm.
