Question

Draw a line segment PQ=8.4 cm using ruler and compass .Find the point R on PQ such that PR=3/4RQ.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given pq = 8.4 cm

Also, pr = 3/4 rq

Now, we have to mark point R on segment pq.

Therefore, pq = pr + rq

Putting given values of pq and pr

8.4 = 3/4 rq + rq

8.4 = 7/4 rq

rq = (8.4 × 4)/7

rq = 4.8 cm

So, pr = pq - rq = 8.4 - 4.8 = 3.6 cm

So, mark the point R on segment pq such that it is 3.6 cm from point p and 4.8 cm fro point q.
