Option 2 : 9.1
Given:
AB = 11.2 cm, BC = 8.4 cm and CD = 6.3 cm
Concept:
Let the circle touches the sides AB, BC, CD and DA of quadrilateral ABCD at P, Q, R and S.
∵ The tangents drawn from external points are equal.
∴ DR = DS
⇒ CR = CQ
⇒BP = BQ
⇒AP = AS
By adding all these equations, we get CD + AB = AD + BC
Calculation:
11.2 + 6.3 = 8.4 + AD
⇒ 17.5 - 8.4 = 9.1 = AD
∴ AD = 9.1 cm
