CityOpen answer

A circle is inscribed in triangle \(ABC\), whose sides have lengths \(BC = a\), \(CA = b\) and \(AB = c\). A line tangent to this circle meets the side \(AC\) at the point \(P\) and the side \(BC\) at the point \(Q\). Determine the perimeter of triangle \(PQC\).

A B C P Q
The tangent line cuts off the shaded triangle \(PQC\).
