The diagram shows an isosceles trapezium divided into two triangles each inscribing a circle. Given that the length of the upper base of the trapezium is 9 and the diameters of the circles are 4 and 7, find the length of the lower base.

@Ahmed Moh AbuBakr, what software did you use?

A latex programming .... But now I use a better program (math type) better than this
If we feel inspired, and guess that the base has length 2 1 and that the trapezium has height 8 , then simple Pythagoras shows that two other sides have length 1 0 , and that the two diagonals have length 1 7 . The figure is full of ( 6 , 8 , 1 0 ) and ( 8 , 1 5 , 1 7 ) Pythagorean triads.
That a triangle with sides 9 , 1 0 . 1 7 has inradius 2 , and that a triangle with sides 1 0 , 1 7 , 2 1 has inradius 3 . 5 is easy to check.
