Solution: draw BE parallel to AD such that BE=5 and DE=4. Let CE=x.
then, let angle BEC=Z
so, angle ADE and angle BCD are also Z(corresponding angles and cyclic trapezium).
From triangles BED and BEC,
cos 180-z=-cos z=(4^2+5^2-7^2)/2.4.5=-(5^2+x^2-5^2)/2.5.x
triangle BED Triangle BEC
on solving we get x=2 . so, CD=4+X=6.

thankyou so much!!!
but i didnt get why you took
cos z=(4^2+5^2-7^2)/2.4.5=-(5^2+x^2-5^2)/2.5.x
triangle BED Triangle BEC
i think basically i donno cos funcn in obtuse triangle
