Draw a line segment AB of length 7 cm and find a point P on it such that
AP : PB = 1:3. Measure AP and PB. plzzzzzzzz give the answer of this question plzzzzzzzz its urgent ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of AB is 7cm.

Point P lies on the line AB, such that AP:PB=1:3.

Let the measure of AP and PB be x and 3x.

AB = AP + PB

 = 7 = x + 3x

 = 7 = 4x

 = x = $\frac{7}{4}$

AP = x = $\frac{7}{4}$

PB = 3x = 3 × $\frac{7}{4}$ = $\frac{21}{4}$

Therefore the measure of AP and PB are $\frac{7}{4}$ cm and  $\frac{21}{4}$ cm respectively.
