Question

The length of a line segment AB is 38cm.A point X on it divides it in the ratio 9:10 .Find the lengths of the line segments AX and XB

Answer 1

let the length of AX and BX be
9x and 10x respectively
$9x + 10x = 38cm \\ 19x =38cm \\ x = \frac{38}{19} = 2$
$9x = 9 \times 2 = 18cm \\ 10x = 10 \times 2 = 20vm$
to check it add 18cm and 20cm you will get the answer 38cm
Therefore AX=18cm
and BX =20cm

Answer 2

Answer:

AX=18cm,BX=20cm

Step-by-step explanation:

9x+10x=38cm

X=38/19=2

9X=9x2=18cm

10x=10x2=20cm

9x=18cm

10x=20cm
