Answer:
PB = 3.3 cm
AP = 2.2 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
We draw the line segment AB whose length is 5.5 cm
Since
AP = 2/3 PB
And
AP + PB = 5.5 cm
Putting values AP = 2/3 PB
2/3 PB + PB = 5.5 cm
2/3 PB + 3/3 PB = 5.5 cm
5/3 PB = 5.5 cm
5 PB = 3 (5.5) = 16.5 cm
5 PB = 16. 5 cm
PB = 16.5 / 5 = 3.3 cm
Thus
PB = 3.3 cm
AP = 2.2 cm
Checking
AP = 2.2 = (2/3)(3.3) = 2/3 PB
