Question

draw a line segment of length 6cm using compasses and ruler,find a point P on it which divides it in the ratio 3:4

Answer 1

1. Draw a segment AB of length 6cm.
2. By putting your compass on A and B, draw a perpendicular bisector of AB. (Shown in figure) The bisector divides the segment into half.
3. Perpendicular bisector meets AB at a point. Name it O.
4. By putting your compass on O and B, draw a perpendicular bisector of OB. (Shown in figure)
5. Perpendicular bisector meets OB at a point. Name it P.

P divides the segment into 3:4
AP = ¾ of AB

Answer 2

Given:

We have given line segment of length 6cm.

To Find:

We need to divide it in 3:4?

Step-by-step explanation:

• First of all we start with Draw a line segment of 6cm in length and draw a ray AX making an acute angle with line segment AB.

• Locate 7=(3+4) points, on AX such that all are equal in their length.

                        $A_1,A_2,A_3,A_4,A_5,A_6,A_7$

• Now join B.

• Through the point , draw a parralel line to $BA_7$ (by making an angle equal to angleA$A_7$B) intersecting AB at C.

• C isn the point dividing the segment AB of 6 cm into 3 ratio 4.

Thus we get the required result.( see diagram attached)
