Answer 2

Answer:

The two parts are 4cm and 6cm respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have been given to divide the following line segment of 10 cm in the ratio of 2:3

Now let the two parts be 2m and 3m respectively. Now as we know that both of these two parts will be equal to 10cm hence we have,

2m + 3m = 10cm

⇒ 5m = 10 cm

⇒ m = 10cm ÷ 5

⇒ m = 2cm

Therefore the line segments are;

2m = 2 × 2cm = 4cm

3m = 3 × 2cm = 6cm

Hence the two parts of the line segment are 4cm and 6cm respectively.
