Question

a line segment a length 6m.ulbing for
and ruler, find a paint P on it which divide
in the ratio 3:4.
​

Answer 1

Steps of construction:
1. Draw a line segment AB=6cm
2. Make any acute angle at A. i.e. ∠CAB
3. Starting from A as centre and any convenient radius set off 6 equal distances.
4. Join 6th arc to B.
5. Then we will draw line segment PM and QN parallel to OB.
Hence AN:NM:MB=1:2:3
