Explanation:

Step1: Recall Incenter Properties

The incenter \( P \) of a triangle is equidistant from all sides. So, \( PO = PN \) (since \( PN \perp JK \) and \( PO \perp KL \), both are distances from incenter to sides). Given \( PN = 21 \), thus \( PO = 21 \).

Step2: Recall Angle Bisector and Segment

For \( LO \), since \( ML = 27 \) and \( M \) and \( O \) are points of tangency from \( L \) to the incircle, \( ML = LO \) (tangents from a point to a circle are equal). So \( LO = 27 \).

Step3: Use Pythagorean Theorem for \( PL \)

In right triangle \( PLO \), \( PL \) is the hypotenuse, \( PO = 21 \), \( LO = 27 \). By Pythagoras: \( PL=\sqrt{PO^{2}+LO^{2}}=\sqrt{21^{2}+27^{2}}=\sqrt{441 + 729}=\sqrt{1170}=\sqrt{9\times130}=3\sqrt{130}\approx34.2 \). Wait, but maybe using tangents: Wait, no, maybe I misread. Wait, the inradius is \( PN = 21 \), and \( LO = ML = 27 \). Then \( PL \) is the hypotenuse of right triangle with legs 21 and 27. So \( PL=\sqrt{21^{2}+27^{2}}=\sqrt{441 + 729}=\sqrt{1170}=3\sqrt{130}\approx34.2 \). But maybe the problem expects using the inradius and tangent length. Wait, maybe the diagram has \( ML = LO = 27 \), and \( PO = 21 \), so \( PL=\sqrt{21^{2}+27^{2}} \). Alternatively, maybe the triangle is such that \( PL \) is calculated as \( \sqrt{21^2 + 27^2} \).

For Centroid (Questions 32 - 35):

Step32: Centroid and Median

Centroid \( G \) divides median \( AF \) (where \( F \) is midpoint of \( AC \))? Wait, no, \( FC = 35 \), since \( F \) is midpoint (centroid is on median, so \( AF \) is median, so \( AF = 2\times FC \)? Wait, no, centroid divides median in ratio \( 2:1 \), but \( FC \): if \( F \) is midpoint of \( AC \), then \( AC = 2\times FC \). Given \( FC = 35 \), so \( AC = 2\times35 = 70 \).

Step33: Centroid and Median \( BE \)

Centroid \( G \) divides median \( BE \) in ratio \( 2:1 \). \( DG = 14 \), but \( D \) is midpoint of \( AB \), so \( AG = 42 \), and centroid divides \( AG \) (median \( AD \)) in ratio \( 2:1 \), so \( AG = \frac{2}{3}AD \), but for \( BG \): Wait, \( BF = 57 \), but maybe \( BE \) is median. Wait, maybe \( DG = 14 \), so \( AG = 42 \), so \( AD = AG + GD = 42 + 14 = 56 \), so median \( AD = 56 \), so \( BD = AD = 56 \)? No, \( D \) is midpoint, so \( AD = BD \). Wait, maybe for \( BG \): Centroid divides median \( BE \) into \( BG:GE = 2:1 \). But we need length of \( BE \). Wait, maybe \( DG = 14 \), \( AG = 42 \), so \( AD = 56 \), so the median \( AD = 56 \), so the length from \( B \) to \( G \): Wait, maybe another approach. Wait, the centroid \( G \) has \( AG = 42 \), so \( GD = \frac{1}{2}AG = 21 \)? Wait, no, centroid divides median in ratio \( 2:1 \), so \( AG:GD = 2:1 \), so \( GD = \frac{1}{2}AG = 21 \), but the problem says \( DG = 14 \). Maybe the diagram is different. Wait, maybe the first part (19 - 21) is about incenter, 32 - 35 about centroid.

Let's re-express:

Question 19: \( PO \)

Incenter \( P \), \( PN \perp JK \), \( PO \perp KL \), so \( PO = PN = 21 \) (incenter is equidistant from sides). So \( PO = 21 \).

Question 20: \( LO \)

Tangents from \( L \) to incircle: \( ML = LO \) (tangents from a point to a circle are equal), \( ML = 27 \), so \( LO = 27 \).

Question 21: \( PL \)

In right triangle \( PLO \), \( PO = 21 \), \( LO = 27 \), so \( PL = \sqrt{21^2 + 27^2} = \sqrt{441 + 729} = \sqrt{1170} = 3\sqrt{130} \approx 34.2 \). But maybe the problem expects integer, so maybe I made a mistake. Wait, maybe \( ML = LO = 27 \), \( PO = 21 \), so \( PL = \sqrt{21^2 + 27^2} = \sqrt{1170} \approx 34.2 \), but maybe the diagram has \…

Answer:

  1. \( PO = \boldsymbol{21} \)
  2. \( LO = \boldsymbol{27} \)
  3. \( PL = \boldsymbol{3\sqrt{130}} \) (or approximately \( \boldsymbol{34.2} \))
  4. \( AC = \boldsymbol{70} \)
  5. \( BG = \boldsymbol{38} \)
  6. \( GC = \boldsymbol{28} \)
  7. \( AE = \boldsymbol{63} \)
