Question : A circle is inscribed in a triangle ABC. It touches sides AB, BC, and AC at points R, P, and Q, respectively. If AQ = 2.6 cm, PC = 2.7 cm, and BR = 3 cm, then the perimeter (in cm) of the triangle $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ is:
Option 1: 16.6
Option 2: 33.2
Option 3: 30
Option 4: 28
Correct Answer: 16.6
Solution : The circle is inscribed in a triangle ABC. It touches sides AB, BC, and AC at points R, P, and Q, respectively. AQ = 2.6 cm, PC = 2.7 cm, BR = 3 cm Concept Used: The lengths of two tangents drawn on a circle from an outside point are the same. Calculation: AQ and AR are two tangents on the circle from point A ⇒ AQ = AR = 2.6 cm BP and BR are two tangents on the circle from point B ⇒ BR = BP = 3 cm CP and CQ are two tangents on the circle from point C ⇒ CP = CQ = 2.7 cm The perimeter of the triangle is AB + BC + CA = AR + RB + BP + PC + CQ + QA = 2.6 + 3 + 3 + 2.7 + 2.7 + 2.6 = 16.6 $\therefore$ The perimeter of the triangle is 16.6 cm. Hence, the correct answer is 16.6.

Question : A circle is inscribed in a triangle ABC. It touches sides AB, BC and AC at points R, P and Q, respectively. If AQ = 3.5 cm, PC = 4.5 cm and BR = 7 cm, then the perimeter (in cm) of the triangle $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ is:
Question : A circle touches the side BC of a $\triangle A B C$ at P and also touches AB and AC produced at Q and R, respectively. If the perimeter of $\triangle A B C=26.4 \mathrm{~cm}$, then the length of AQ is:
Question : The sides AB, BC, and AC of a $\triangle {ABC}$ are 12 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm respectively. A circle is inscribed in the triangle touching AB, BC, and AC at D, E, and F respectively. The difference between the lengths of AD and CE is:
Question : For a triangle ABC, D and E are two points on AB and AC such that $\mathrm{AD}=\frac{1}{6} \mathrm{AB}$, $\mathrm{AE}=\frac{1}{6} \mathrm{AC}$. If BC = 22 cm, then DE is _______. (Consider up to two decimals)
Question : In $\Delta \mathrm{ABC}$, a line parallel to side $\mathrm{BC}$ cuts the sides $\mathrm{AB}$ and $\mathrm{AC}$ at points $\mathrm{D}$ and $\mathrm{E}$ respectively and also point $\mathrm{D}$ divides $\mathrm{AB}$ in the ratio of $\mathrm{1 : 4}$. If the area
