Answer 1

Answer:

As shown in the attached figure

If we draw lines parallel to CB_5CB

5

from points B_4,B_3,B_2B

4

,B

3

,B

2

and B_1B

1

respectively

Also if we draw lines parallel to CA_8CA

8

from points A_7, A_6,A_5,A_4,A_3,A_2A

7

,A

6

,A

5

,A

4

,A

3

,A

2

and A_1A

1

respectively

Then we can clearly see that CB contains 5 parts and CA contains 8 parts

Therefore, point C divides AB in the ratio 8:5[/tex]

Hope this answer is helpful.
