Explanation:

We know that length of the tangents drawn from an external point are equal.

Here if external point is A , AQ = AR => AR = 4.5 cm
If external point is C , PC =CQ, CA =5.5 cm
If external point is B , PB =BR, PB =6 cm
Perimeter of $\bigtriangleup ABC$ = 4.5 + 4.5 + 6 + 6 + 5.5 + 5.5 = 32 cm
So, the answer would be option c)32 cm.
