Question

divide the line segment ab=12cm in the ratio 3:2​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

7.2 : 4.8

this is the length

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey Mate,

Length of the line ab is 12 c.m

We need to divide it in 3:2

Suppose the ration amount is 3x : 2x.

The some of the both ratio amount is equal to the length of the line.

So,

3x + 2x = 12 c.m

5x = 12 c.m

x = 2.4

Now, Put the value of x in ratio.

=> 3x : 2x

=> 3 (2.4) : 2 (2.4)

=> 7.2 : 4.8

So, The division of line ab in ratio 3:2 is 7.2 c.m : 4.8 c.m
