Question

7. To divide a line segment AB in the ratio 2:5 first a ray AX is drawn. So that angle BAX is an acute angle and then at equal distance, how many points are located on the ray AX? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The line is to be divided in 2:3

Let the parts of line be 2x and 3x

2x=x+x

So 2x has 2 equal parts.

3x=x+x+x

So 3x has 3 equal parts.

So a total of 5 equal parts are needed
