Question

Draw a line segment of length 7.6 cm and divide it in the ratio 5:3.​

Answer 1

Answer:

see the figure attached!!

Step-by-step explanation:

• draw a line segment of length 7.6 cm.
• construct an acute angle A.
• similarly, construct an acute angle B opposite side of angle A.
• locate points on A: A1, A2, A3, A4, A5,...such that AA1 = A1A2 = A2A3 = A3A4 = A4A5.
• locate points on B: B1, B2, B3,....such that BB1 = B1B2 = B2B3.
• join A5B3.

Hence, line AB is divided in the ratio 5:3 .
