Answer:
The length of the two parts are 20cm and 15cm, respectively.
Explanation:
Let the two parts of the line segment be denoted as 4x and 3x.
As the line segment is of length 35 cm, we have:
4x + 3x = 35
7x = 35
x = (35/7)
x = 5
∴ 4x = 4*5 = 20
3x = 3*5 = 15
The two parts of the line segment are 20cm and 15cm, respectively.
