Question

Divide a line segment of length 6 cm externally in the ratio of 2:3

Answer 1

Answer:

step 1: draw a line segment AN

step 2:draw a ray X from A

step 3:draw 5 arcs from one another without changing the measurements

step 4: join A5 and B

step 5:cut an by placing compass at point A5

without changing the measurements keep the compass at A3 and cut an arc

step 6:take the distance of arc which is drawn from the point A5 without changing the measurement place the compass at the arc and cut an arc which cut the previous arc at A3

step 7:draw a line passing through the joint of arcs to the line

then the line divides in the ratio 2:3
