Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Given length :-

AB = 8 cm

It is given that AP/AB = 5/7

It means AP = 5AB/7

AP = 5 x 8/7 = 40/7 cm

Then BP will be 8 - (40/7) = (56 - 40)/7 = 16/7

We are asked to find the ratio in which segment AB is divided by a point P.

We had found that AP = 40/7 and BP = 16/7.

So, AP/BP= (40/7)/(16/7) = 40/16 = 5/2

$\huge\boxed{AP/BP=5/2}$
