1. In triangle \( \triangle ABC \), a line parallel to side BC intersects sides AB and AC at points P and Q respectively. If \( AB = 3 \times PB \) and \( BC = 18 \) cm, then what is the length of \( PQ \)?

(a) 10 cm (b) 9 cm (c) 12 cm (d) 8 cm

2. In \(\triangle\)ABC, a line parallel to side BC intersects AB and AC at points P and Q, respectively. If AP = 4 cm, QC = 9 cm, and PB = AQ, then what is the length of PB?

3. The three sides of a triangle are 6 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm respectively. What is the circumradius of the triangle? This triangle is special—it’s a right triangle (since \(6^2 + 8^2 = 36 + 64 = 100 = 10^2\)). And for right triangles, the circumradius is half the hypotenuse. So the circumradius = \(\frac{10}{2} = 5\) cm.
