Question

the length of a line segment ab is equal to 14 cm in which ratio the line segment to be divided to get a line segment a p is equal to 3 by 7 ab.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Draw any line segment say AB=10cm

2. At A, draw a ray AY making an acute angle YAB.

3. Using compass mark five points on AY such that P=PQ=QR=RS=ST.

4. Join TB

5. Through point R draw a line parallel to TB i.e. RL which divides AB in the ratio 3:2.

On measuring AB we find that AL=6 cm and LB=4cm.
