Question

draw seg PQ of length 6 cm , Divide it in ratio 2:3​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the line segment be PQ

Now we will divide the line segment PQ with ratio 3:2

Step 1:  Firstly we will draw a line 6cm PQ.

Step 2: Draw any other ray PX, makes angle less than 90 (acute angle).

Step 3: Mark the 5 (because 3 + 2 = 5) arcs in a line PX, named P₁, P₂, P₃, P₄, P₅.

           such that,

          PP₁ = P₁P₂ = P₂P₃ = P₃P₄ = P₄P₅

Step 4: Join QP₅.

Step 5: Draw a parallel line QP₅ from P₃. That is intersect the PQ line at point R.

           Thus PR : RQ = 3:2
