Steps of construction :
1. Draw a line segment AB = 7 cm.
2. Draw any ray.AX making an acute angle down ward with AB.
3. Mark the points A1,A2,A3,..............,A8 on AX such that AA1 = A1A2 = A2A3 = .....,A7A8.
4. Join BA8.
5. Through the point A3, draw a line parallel to BA8 . To meet AB on P.
Hence AP : PB = 3 : 5
