Question

draw a line segment of length 8.6 cm and divide it in the ratio 5:8​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP1- Draw a line segment AB of length 8.6cm

STEP2- Draw a ray AX, making an acute angle with AB

STEP3- Locate 13(m+n) point

A¹, A² , A³ , A⁴ , A⁵ , A⁶ , A⁷ , A⁸ , A⁸ , A⁹ , A¹⁰ , A¹¹ ,

A¹², A¹³

ON, AX So that

AA¹ =A¹A²= A²A³=A³A⁴=A⁴A⁵=A⁶A⁷=A⁷A⁸=A⁸A⁹=A⁹A¹⁰=A¹⁰A¹¹=A¹¹A¹²=A¹²A¹³

STEP4- Join BA¹³

STEP5- Through the point A⁵(m=5) draw a line parallel toA¹³B ( By making an angle equal to ANGLE AA¹³B) at A⁵ interesting AB at the point C.

So, we get

• AC: CB= 5:8
• AC=2.9 cm and CB= 4.7 cm
