A circle is inscribed in a `DeltaABC`, touching `BC`, `CA` and `AB` at `P`, `Q` and `R` respectively, as shown in the given figure. If `AB=10cm`, `AQ=7cm` and `CQ=5cm` then find the length of `BC`. |

Answer» We know that the lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal. `:. AR=AQ=7cm`. `BR=(AB-AR)=(10-7)cm=3cm` `:.BP=BR=3cm` `CP=CQ=5cm` `:.BC=(BP+CP)=(3+5)cm=8cm` |
