Here, the line segment is divided into 3 equal parts means trisection.
This can be done by finding two points P and Q on the line segment AB , AP = PQ= QB.
Let AP = PQ= QB = X
AP = X & PB = PQ +QB = x +x = 2x
AP : PB = x : 2x = 1:2
AQ=AP + PQ = x + x = 2x & QB =X
AQ : QB = 2x : x = 2 :1
Hence,P divides the line segment AB in the ratio 1:2 & Q divide the line segment AB in the ratio 2:1.
