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

Two ships are approaching a port along straight routes at constant speeds. Initially, the two ships and the port formed an equilateral triangle with sides of length $24$ km. When the slower ship travelled $8$ km, the triangle formed by the new positions of the two ships and the port became right-angled. When the faster ship reaches the port, the distance, in km, between the other ship and the port will be

From a triangle $ABC$ with sides of lengths $40$ ft, $25$ ft and $35$ ft, a triangular portion $GBC$ is cut off where $G$ is the centroid of $ABC$. The area, in sq ft, of the remaining portion of triangle $ABC$ is
