Question

Draw a line segment of length 7.2 cm and divide it in the ratio 5:3. Measure the two parts
and verify the results.​

Answer 1

draw the line segment ac = 7.2cm

let the length of the two parts be 5x and 3x

x=7.2/8=0.9

so 5x=4.5 and 3x=2.7

so make ab=4.5cm and bc=2.7cm

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1st part of line segment

5/8×7.2 =4.5

2nd part of line segment

3/8×7.2=2.7
