The length of each side of an equilateral triangle ABC is $3 \mathrm{~cm}$. Let D be a point on BC such that the area of triangle ADC is half the area of triangle $A B D$. Then the length of $A D$, in cm , is

In a right-angled triangle $\triangle A B C$, the altitude $A B$ is $5 \mathrm{~cm}$, and the base $B C$ is $12 \mathrm{~cm}$. $P$ and $Q$ are two points on $B C$ such that the areas of $\triangle \mathrm{ABP}, \triangle \mathrm{ABQ}$ and $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ are in arithmetic progression. If the area of $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ is $1.5$ times the area of $\triangle \mathrm{ABP}$, the length of PQ in cm , is

Let $T$ be the triangle formed by the straight line $3x + 5y - 45 = 0$ and the coordinate axes. Let the circumcircle of $T$ have radius of length $L,$ measured in the same unit as the coordinate axes. Then, the integer closest to $L$ is
