If the circle touches the sides AB, BC, CD, and DA in P, Q, R, and S, respectively, then let DR = DS = x such that CR = CQ = 10 - x, and let BP = BQ = y such that AP = AS = 16 - y.

Now, AD + BC = (AS + DS) + (BQ + CQ) = (16 - y + x) + (y + 10 - x) = 26

Hence, the perimeter = AB + CD + AD + BC = 16 + 10 + 26 = [spoiler]52[/spoiler].

Sanju

it seems a kind of theorem...

perimater is twice of sum of two opposite sides... kind of isn'tit...

are these sides(opposite) parallel too... ?

is there any SAYING or any rule regarding cyclic quadilateral..?

From a point outside of a circle, exactly two tangents can be drawn to the circle, and the two tangents measure same.

A quadrilateral whose all four vertices are on a circle is termed as a cyclic quadrilateral. The opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary.

sorry girish3131,

I think you were correct at it, but since you didn't mention the thing completely, I had to deny it. You should have mentioned a cyclic quadrilateral, at least.

For others...

The perimeter of a cyclic quadrilateral is twice the sum of its one pair of opposite sides.
