Problem

Quadrilateral ABCDABCD has an inscribed circle which touches sides AB, BC, CDAB,\,BC,\,CD and DADA at W, X, YW,\,X,\,Y and ZZ respectively. If AB=14 cmAB=14\,\text{cm}, BC=11 cmBC=11\,\text{cm} and CD=6 cmCD=6\,\text{cm}, (i) Prove that AW=AZAW=AZ, BW=BXBW=BX, CX=CYCX=CY and DY=DZDY=DZ. (ii) Using these relations, find the length of side DADA. (iii) Determine the perimeter of quadrilateral ABCDABCD.
