Question

Construction :
Write the steps of construction for dividing a line segment of length 6 cm in the ratio of 3: 2.​

Answer 1

$\huge{\boxed{\mathfrak{\pink{AnSwer}}}}$

The point P so obtained is the required point, which divides AB internally in the ratio 2:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a line segment AB = 6 cm.

Draw any ray making an acute angle BAX with AB.

Along AX mark 5 (2+3) points such that  

Join  

Through  draw a line  parallel to  by making an angle equal to   intersecting AB at point P.

The point P so obtained is the required point, which divides AB internally in the ratio 2:3
