In a parallelogram $ABCD$ of area $72 \mathrm{sq} \mathrm{cm}$, the sides $CD$ and $AD$ have lengths $9 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $16 \mathrm{~cm}$, respectively. Let P be a point on $C D$ such that $A P$ is perpendicular to $C D$. Then the area, in sq cm, of triangle $A P D$ is

In a trapezium $\mathrm{ABCD}, \mathrm{AB}$ is parallel to $\mathrm{DC}, \mathrm{BC}$ is perpendicular to DC and $\angle \mathrm{BAD}=45^{\circ}$. If $\mathrm{DC}=5 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{BC}=4 \mathrm{~cm}$, the area of the trapezium in sq cm is

In a rectangle ABCD, AB = 9 cm and BC = 6 cm. P and Q are two points on BC such that the areas of the figures ABP, APQ, and AQCD are in geometric progression. If the area of the figure AQCD is four times the area of triangle ABP, then BP : PQ : QC is
