see diagram.
Let B be the origin.
Equation of st line BD is :  y = 6/3  x    or,    y = 2 x

Equation of st line AE is : (y-0)/(x-1) = (6-0)/(0-1)  or   y + 6 x = 6 
Intersection of  BD and AE is :  P(3/4, 3/2)

Equation of st line AF is :  (y-0)/(x-2) = (6-0)/(0-2)    or   y + 3 x = 6
Intersection of BD and AF is:  Q(6/5, 12/5)

r = BP = 3√5 / 4  cm
s = PQ = √[(6/5-3/4)² + (12/5 - 3/2)²] = √(81/400 + 81/100) = 9√5 / 20 cm
t = QD = BD - r - s = 3√5 - 3√5 /4 - 9 √5 / 20 cm
  => t = 9√5 / 5 cm
r : s : t = 3/4 : 9/20 : 9/5
           = 5 : 3 : 12
r+s+t = 20
