Question

Draw a line segment of length 6 cm and divide it in the ratio 2:4. Measure
the two parts.​

Answer 1

Let the line segment be PQ

Now we will divide the line segment PQ with ratio 2:4

Firstly we will draw a line 6cm PQ.

Draw any other ray PX, makes angle less than 90 (acute angle).

: Mark the 5 (because 3 + 2 = 5) arcs in a line PX, named P₁, P₂, P₃, P₄, P₅.

such that,

PP₁ = P₁P₂ = P₂P₃ = P₃P₄ = P₄P₅

Join QP₅.

Draw a parallel line QP₅ from P₃. That is intersect the PQ line at point R.

Thus PR : RQ = 2:4
