Answer:
The length of AC is 2 cm and the length of CB is 8cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that AB = 10cm
'C' divides the line in the ratio 1 : 4
Let the multiplying factor be 'x'
There fore the length of AC = x and the length of CB = 4x
We know the total length = 10 cm
=> AB = AC + CB
=> 10 cm = x + 4x
=> 10 cm = 5x
=> x = 2cm
the length of AC = x = 2 cm
and the length of CB = 4x = 8cm
Hence, the length of AC is 2 cm and the length of CB is 8cm
