Detailed Solution

Let the adjacent sides of the cyclic quadrilateral be AB and BC respectively.
Therefore, it is given that,
AB=2
BC=5
Angle between AB and BC ABC=60
Now, we know, opposite angles of a quadrilateral =180.
Therefore, according to the diagram,
ABC+ADC=180
60+ADC=180
ADC=180-60
ADC=120
 Let the other two adjacent sides be CD=a and AD=b.
Now,
We know, that according to the sine rule, the area of the triangle is equal to,
Δ=12×product of the lengths of two sides×sin (angle between the sides)   [equation I]
Therefore,
In Δ ABC,
Δ1=12×AB×BC×sinABC   [from equation I]
Putting the values,
Δ1=12×2×5×sin60
Δ1=5×32
Δ1=532    [equation II]
 Similarly,
In Δ ADC,
Δ2=12×CD×AD×sinADC   [from equation I]
Putting the values,
Δ2=12×a×b×sin120
Δ2=ab2×32
Δ2=ab34    [equation III]
 Area of the quadrilateral =Δ1+Δ2
Aq=532+ab34   [From equation II and III]
43-532=ab34   [Area of the quadrilateral is given]
83-532=ab34
332=ab34
ab=33×423
ab=6     [equation IV]
 Now, we also know the cosine rule, that the relation of the Δ ABC with given three sides AB, BC and AC and the angle between AB and BC=ABC is given by,
AC2=AB2+BC2-2×AB×BC×cosABC    [equation V]
Similarly, in Δ ADC,
AC2=CD2+AD2-2×CD×AD×cosADC    [equation VI]
 Therefore, from equation V and VI, we can write,
AB2+BC2-2×AB×BC×cosABC=CD2+AD2-2×CD×AD×cosADC
22+52-2×2×5×cos60=a2+b2-2a×b×cos120
29-20×12=a2+b2-2a×b×-12
29-10=a2+b2+ab
19=a2+b2+6   [From equation IV]
19-6=a2+b2
a2+b2=13    [equation VII]
 Now we will be forming a quadratic equation using a2+b2=13 and a2b2=36, where, a2, b2 are the roots of the equation forming with x.
x2-a2+b2x+a2b2=0
x2-13x+36=0
x2-(9+4)x+36=0
x2-9x-4x+36=0
x(x-9)-4(x-9)=0
(x-9)(x-4)=0
Either,
x-9=0
x=9
a2=9
a=3
Or,
x-4=0
x=4
a2=4
a=2
 Similarly,
b=3, 2
 Therefore, the length of the other two sides are:
CD=a=3, 2
AD=3, 2
