Correct Answer: 7.7
Solution :
Given: The quadrilateral ABCD is circumscribed by a circle. The lengths of AB, BC, and CD are 7 cm, 8.5 cm, and 9.2 cm, respectively.
Since tangents drawn from an external point are always equal,
So, AP = AS, BP = BQ, CR = CQ, and DR = DS
By adding these we get,
⇒ AB + CD = BC + AD
⇒ AD = (7 + 9.2) – 8.5 = 7.7 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 7.7.
