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.
