Given an equilateral triangle $\mathrm{T} 1$ with side $24 \mathrm{~cm}$, a second triangle $\mathrm{T} 2$ is formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of $\mathrm{T} 1$. Then a third triangle $\mathrm{T} 3$ is formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of $\mathrm{T} 2$. If this process of forming triangles is continued, the sum of the areas, in sq cm , of infinitely many such triangles $\mathrm{T} 1, \mathrm{~T} 2, \mathrm{~T} 3, \ldots$ will be

A triangle is drawn with its vertices on the circle C such that one of its sides is a diameter of C and the other two sides have their lengths in the ratio $a: b$. If the radius of the circle is $r$, then the area of the triangle 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
