Question

Draw a line Segment of length 7.2 cm and divide
it in the ratio 5:3 measure the two parts.​

Answer 1

Answer:

first part is 4.5

second part is 2.7

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the line segment be AB

Part of the line ratio=5:3

Let the first part be=5x

Let the second part be=3x

Then,

5x+3x=7.2cm

8x=7.2

x=7.2/8

x=0.9cm

Measurement of the first part=5x

=5*0.9

=4.5 cm

Measurement of second part:-

3x=3*0.9

=2.7 cm
