Correct Answer: 18 cm
Solution :
Given: A circle touches all four sides of a quadrilateral ABCD. AB=18 cm, BC=21 cm and AD=15 cm.
We know that the lengths of tangents drawn from an external point are equal.
Using this we get,
AB + CD = AD + BC
So, CD = (AD + BC) – AB
= (15 + 21) – 18
= 36 – 18
= 18 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 18 cm.
