Question

Draw a line segment AB = 10cm and then divide it in a ratio 3:2.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer

Draw any line segment say AB = 10 cm.

At A, draw a ray AY making an acute angle YAB.

Using compass mark five points on AY such that.

AP = PQ = QR = RS = ST.

Join TB.

Through point R draw a line parallel to TB i.e RL which divides AB in the ratio 3 : 2.

On measuring AB we find that AL = 6 cm and LB = 4 cm.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. Draw any line segment say AB = 10 cm.
2. At A, draw a ray AY making an acute angle YAB.
3. Using compass mark five points on AY such that.
4. AP = PQ = QR = RS = ST.
5. Join TB.
6. Through point R draw a line parallel to TB i.e RL which divides AB in the ratio 3 : 2.
7. On measuring AB we find that AL = 6 cm and LB = 4 cm.
