Question

Draw segment PQ
of length 5 cm. Divide it in the ratio 3:2.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3/5*5=3cm

2/5*5=2cm

Answer 2

The line AB is divided internally in 3:2 ratio at point P.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,  

i. PQ = 5 cm, is the line segment being drawn first.

ii. Draw any ray making an acute ∠XAB with AB.

iii. Along AX mark 5 (3 +2) points $A_1, A_2, A_3, A_4\ and\ A_5\ such\ that\ AA_1 = A_1A_2 = A_2A_3 = A_3A_4 = A_4A_5$.

iv. Join $BA_5$

v. Through $A_3$ draw a line $A_3P$ parallel to $A_5B$ by making an angle equal to $AA_5B\ at\ A_3$ intersecting AB at point P.
