Question

Draw a line segment of length 8 cm and divide it in the ratio 3 : 5​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps of construction :

1. Draw line segment of length AB=8cm

2. Draw any Ray AX making acute <BAX with AB

3.Draw a parralled to by paralled to AX by making <ABY=<BAX

4.Make 3 points A1, A2, A3 on AX & 4 points B1, B2, B3,B4 on By such that

AA1=A1,A2=A2,A3=BB1=B1B2=B2B3=B3B4

5.Join A3B4. then it intersect AB at a point P.

Thus P is the point of diuding AB internally in the ratio 3:5
