Question

to divide a line segment AB in the ratio 2:3 a ray AX is drawn such that angle BAX is acute . AX is then marked at equal intervals. what are the maximum numbers if these marks

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The line is to be divided in 2:3

Let the parts of line be 2x and 3x

2x=x+x

So 2x has 2 equal parts.

3x=x+x+x

So 3x has 3 equal parts.

So a total of 5 equal parts are needed.
