Question

5. Draw a line segment AB of length 7 cm and find a point P on it such that AP : PB = 2:3 measure AB and PB .​

Answer 1

Answer:

Steps of construction are as follows:(1) Draw a line segment AB = 7cm (2)Mark (3 + 4) = 7 points A1,A2,A3,A4,A5,A6,A7 (2) Join A7 to B(3) From A3

Answer 2

༺Answer ༻:-

✪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 = 7/4

★The measure of AP and PB are

⇛AP = X

⇛X = 7/4

Hence , AP = 7/4

⇛PB = 3x

⇛3x = 3 × 7/4

⇛3x = 21 / 4

Hence, PB = 21/4
