Question

Draw a line segment of length 10cm divide in the ratio 3:2 measure 2 parts

Answer 1

length of two parts is 6 cm and 4 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

• First draw a line segment AB of length 10 cm.

• now from point A, at some angle, draw a random line of any length more than half of AB(for better marking)
• using compass, keep the centre as A and cut an arc of any length on this new line.
• keep the point of intersection as centre and repeat this to get 5 equally spaced points on new line AC
• join the 5 th point from A on line segment AC to B
• draw a line, parallel to this DB line from 3rd point onto the line segment AB.
• this divides it in 3:2 ratio.
• measuring this we get length as 6cm and 4 cm.
