in the figure ,a circle touches all the 4 sides of a quadrilateral ABCD whose sides AB 6cm , BC 7cm, CD4cm. Find AB
kvnmurty:
i suppose u want the value of AD..
have missed some more data to be given? radius of the circle?

ABCD is a quadrilateral. A circle touches the sides AB, BC, CD and DA of the quadrilateral ABCD at P, Q, R and S respectively
.AB = 6 cm, CD = 4 cm and BC = 7 cm
We know that, the length of tangents drawn from an external point to the circle are equal.
AP = AS
BP = BQ
CQ = CR
DR = DS
Now, AB + CD = (AP + PB) + (CR + DR)
= (AS + BQ) + (CQ + DS)
= (AS + DS) + (BQ + CQ)
= AD + BC
∴ AB + CD = AD + BC
⇒ AD = AB + CD – BC
⇒ AD = 6 cm + 4 cm – 7 cm
⇒ AD = 10 cm – 7 cm
⇒ AD = 3 cm
Thus, the length of the side AD is 3 cm.

HOPE THIS IS WHAT U MEANT...IF NOT PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND IF YES PLEASE MARK IT AS THE BEST.
good
thank you sir.

See diagram.
Draw perpendicular (normals) to the sides at the points where the inscribed circle touches the quadrilateral.
Let GC = x cm. So DG = 4 -x = DH = 4-x cm
As CF = x cm, FB = 7-x so BE = 7 - x cm
So AE = 6 - (7-x) = x-1 cm
So AH = x-1 and AD = x-1+4-x = 3 cm
