Question

The length of aline segment AB is 38 cm. a point x on it divides it in the ratio 9:10. find the lengths of the line segment AX and ab​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of seg AB = 38 cm

Point X divides seg AB in the ratio 9:10

Let the common multiple be x

9x + 10x = 38

19x = 38

x = 38/19

x = 2

Therefore,

Length of seg AX = 9x = 9 × 2 = 18 cm

Length of seg BX = 10x = 10 × 2 = 20 cm
