Question

A student divided a line of length 9cm in the ratio 2:3 geometrically as shown in the figure. The correct lengths of AM and MB obtained by calculation are
respectively equal to

Answer 1

Answer:

18/5 and 27/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the common ration be x , then the pieces be 2x and 3x

Length of wire = 9 cm

2x + 3x = 9cm

5x = 9cm

x = 9/5

therefore length of Am = 2x = 9/5*2 = 18/5

and similarly length of Mb = 3x = 9/5*3 = 27/5
