Question

Rohit drew a perpendicular on line segment AB 9f length 7.2 cm at point X. What is the length of AX if
1.the length of XB is half the length of the line segment AB? 2.the length of BX is 5.2cm? 3.BX is twice the length of AX

Answer 1

1)XB=HALF OF AB=3.6

THERFORE :AX=3.6cm

2)LENGTH OF BX=5.2 THEN AX=7.2-5.2

THEREFORE : AX=2cm

3)BX=2×AX THEN X+(2×X)=7.2

=X+2X=7.2

=3X=7.2

=X=2.4

THEREFORE AX=2.4 AND BX=4.8
