Question

draw a line segment ab of length 7 cm and find a point P on it such that AP ratio PB is equal to 1 ratio 3 measure AP and PB​

Answer 1

Answer:

AP = 1.75 cm and PB = 5.25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

AB = 7cm

$\frac{ap}{pb} = \frac{1}{3}$

Let, AP be x so PB would be 3x.

$x + 3x = 7 \\ 4x = 7 \\ x = \frac{7}{4} =1.75$

Now,

AP = x = 1.75 cm

PB = 3X = 5.25 cm
