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 $ABC$ be a right-angled isosceles triangle with hypotenuse $BC$. Let $BQC$ be a semi-circle, away from $A$, with diameter $BC$. Let $BPC$ be an arc of a circle centred at $A$ and lying between $BC$ and $BQC$. If $AB$ has length $6$ cm ,then the area, in sq. cm, of the region enclosed by $BPC$ and $BQC$ 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
