Steps of construction:
• Draw a line segment of length 7 cm and name it as AB.
• Construct an acute angle to the line segment and name the line newly formed as AY.
• Take a small measurement in compass and cut the line AY.
• Mark the points of equal measurement on AY as X₁, X₂, X₃...
• Join B from X₄.
(We have taken the 4th point that is X4 because the sum of ratios is 1 + 3 = 4)
• Construct a line parallel to BX₄ on BX₁
• Mark the new point as P
AP = 1.7
PB = 5.2
