A tangent XY touches a circle at point C. A chord CD is drawn such that YC^D=65∘. Find the magnitude of the angle subtended by the chord CD in the alternate segment.
A circle with centre O touches the sides of triangle ABC at points P, Q, R on sides AB, BC, CA respectively. If AP = 4 cm, BQ = 6 cm, and CR = 5 cm, find the perimeter of triangle ABC.
