Question

a 49. Determine a point which divides a line segment of length 7 cm internally in the ratio 3:5. Write the steps of construction.

Answer 1

Answer:

(0, 2.625)

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the segment = 7 cm

So draw line from (0,0) to (0,7).

Ratio of Internal division : 3/5

So the first of its divided segments would be at 7 * 3/ (3+5) = 2.625

Second of its divided segments would be at 7 * 5/ (3+5) = 4.375

Total Length = 2.625 + 4.375 = 7 cm

So the point to be marked at (0, 2.625)
