Answer 1

Answer:

Hi ,

A _________.P____________B

AB = 6 cm ----( 1 )

AP / AB = 2/5

AP / 6 = 2/5 [ from ( 1 ) ]

AP = ( 6 × 2 ) /5

AP = 12 /5

AP = 2.4 cm ---- ( 2 )

AP + PB = AB

2.4 + PB = 6

PB = AB - AP

= 6 - 2.4

= 3.6 cm----( 2 )

ratio = AP / PB

= 2.4 / 3.6

= 2 / 3

= 2 : 3

I hope this helps you.
