In a quadrangle ABCD, AB = 10cm, BC = 8cm, CD = 7cm. How long should the side AD be so that this quadrilateral can be described around a circle?

Since the quadrilateral ABCD can be described around a circle, the sum of the lengths of its opposite sides are equal.

AB + AD = 10 + 7 = 17 cm.

BC + AD = 17 cm.

AD = 17 – BC = 17 – 8 = 9 cm.

Answer: The length of the AD side should be 9 cm.
