Question

Divide a line segment of 6 cm in the ratio of 3:5.

​

Answer 1

let the line segment be PQ

Now we will divide the line segment PQ with ratio 3:5.

step 1: firstly we will divide a line 6 CM PQ.

step 2: draw any other ray PX make angle less than 90°

step 3: mark the 8 (because 3+5=8) arcs in a line PX, named P1,P2,P3,P4,P5.

SUCH THAT,

PP1=P1P2=P2P3
