Solution
We know that the tangent from an external point to the arced are equal
so
EK=EM=9cm
DK=DH
FH=FM
perimeter of ΔEDF
ED+EF+DF
ED+EF+DH+HF
(ED+DH)+(EF+HF)
(ED+DK)+(EF+FM)
EK+EM
9+9=18cm
correct option (d) 18cm
so
EK=EM=9cm
DK=DH
FH=FM
perimeter of ΔEDF
ED+EF+DF
ED+EF+DH+HF
(ED+DH)+(EF+HF)
(ED+DK)+(EF+FM)
EK+EM
9+9=18cm
correct option (d) 18cm
