A point P that divides a line segment of length 5 cm in the ratio 3:2 is given as follows.
Steps of construction:
Draw a line segment AB of length 5 cm.
Draw any ray AX such that it makes an acute angle downwards with line AB.
Mark the points A1, A2, ........,A5 such that, A1A2 = A2A3 = A3A4 = A4A5
Join BA5
Through a point A3, draw a line parallel to BA5. To meet AB at P.
Hence AP : PB = 3 : 2
Hence the required construction.
