Question

Divide a line segment 4.2 cm long internally in the ratio 5:3 Also, write the steps of construction.

Answer 1

Answer:

Given a line segment ABAB. You are required to divide it internally in the ratio 2:32:3. steps for this problem is following

Draw a ray ACAC making an acute angle with ABAB.

Starting with AA, mark off 5 points C1,C2,C3,C4,C5C1,C2,C3,C4,C5 at equal distances from the point AA.

Join C5C5 and BB

Through C2C2 (i.e. the second point), draw C2DC2D parallel to C5BC5B meeting ABAB in DD.

Then DD is required point, which divides ABAB segment into 2:32:3 part.
