Question

Line segment AB = 10cm is divided at ‘C’ in the ratio 1:4. What are the length of AC

and BC​

Answer 1

Answer:

2 and 8

the length of AC is 2

the length of BC is 8

Answer 2

Answer:

AC=2cm and CB=8cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

AB=10cm

let the ratio be as 1x and 4x

So, 1x +4x = 10

      5x=10

        x=10/5

         x=2

therefore, 1x=1 x 2 = 2cm

                  4x= 4 x 2 = 8cm
