Let $D$ and $E$ be points on sides $A B$ and $A C$, respectively, of a triangle $A B C$, such that $A D: B D=2: 1$ and $A E: C E=2: 3$. If the area of the triangle $A D E$ is $8 \mathrm{sq} \mathrm{cm}$, then the area of the triangle $ABC$ , in sq cm , is

Let $P$ be an interior point of a right-angled isosceles triangle $ABC$ with hypotenuse $AB$ . If the perpendicular distance of P from each of $A B, B C$, and $C A$ is $4(\sqrt{2}-1) \mathrm{cm}$, then the area, in sq cm, of the triangle $A B C$ is

Let $ABC$ be a right-angled triangle with hypotenuse $BC$ of length $20$ cm. If $AP$ is perpendicular on $BC$, then the maximum possible length of $AP$, in cm, is
