Question

Draw a line segment of length 10 cm and divide it in the ratio of 2:5 write the steps of construction​

Answer 1

Answer:

Steps of construction.

STEP I Draw a line segment AB = 10 cm by using a ruler.

STEP II Draw a ray AX making an acute angle\(\angle B A X\) with AB.

STEP III Along AX, mark-off 5 (= 3 + 2) points A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5 such that. ...

STEP IV Join points B & A5 .

Answer 2

•Draw a line AB of length 10cm.

•Make an acute angle from A.

•Make arcs on the line AX of the same length as A1, A2.

•Copy the angle by making an arc from point B and name it BY

•Again make arcs of the same lengths on BY like B1, B2, B3, B4, B5.

•Join A2 and B5

•The given ratio is 2:5.
