Label the vertices of the trapezoid $ABCD$ in sequence around the trapezoid so that its bases are $AB=10$ and $CD=13$ and its legs are $AD=6$ and $BC=4.$

Put $P$ on the line between $C$ and $D$ such that $CP = 10.$ Then the quadrilateral $ABCP$ is a parallelogram, and $AP = BC = 4.$

This problem should be much easier to solve than the original one appeared to be.
