    • Question

      In the figure given below, AC = 16 cm and BF = 5 cm. If

      AE:CE = 5:3, then find the perimeter of ΔABC.
      A 52 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 44 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 42 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 46 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      AE = (5/8) X 16 = 10 cm

      CE = 16 - 10 = 6 cm

      Length of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is equal.

      So, AF = AE = 10 cm

      And, CD = CE = 6 cm

      And, BD = BF = 5 cm

      Required perimeter = 10 + 6 + 6 + 5 + 5 + 10 = 42 cm
