प्रश्न
The lengths of three consecutive sides of a quadrilateral circumscribing a circle are 4cm,5cm and 7cm respectively. Determine the length of fourth side.
उत्तर
Let us consider a quadrilateral ABCD, AB = 4cm, BC = 5 cm, CD = 7cm, CD as sides
circumscribing circle with centre O. and intersecting at points E, F, G, H. as in fig.
We know that the tangents drawn from external point to the circle are equal in length.
From point A, AE = AH …. (i)
From point B, BE = BF ….. (ii)
From point C, GC = CE ….(iii)
From point D, GD = DH ….(iv)
(i) + (ii) + (iii) + (iv) ⇒ (AE + BE + GC + GD) = (AH + BF + CF + DH)
⇒ (AE + BE) + (GC + GD) = (AH + DH) + (BF + CF)
⇒ AB + CD = AD + BC
⇒ AD = 11 – 5 = 6 cm
Fourth side = 6 cm
