Question

To divide a line segment AB of length7.6 cm in the ratio 5:8
,a ray Ax is drawn first
such that angle BAX
forms an acute angle and
the points Al, A2, A3-----
are located at equal distances on the ray Ax and the point is joined to​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum number of points=4+5=9

In this process, once line AX is drawn, it is divided into 9 equal parts.

The points are marked from point A towards X. The last point is then joined to point B to form line XB and passing through the points that were marked on AX. These lines can be drawn using set squares to ensure they are parallel.  

These parallel lines divide line AB into 9 equal parts. So, to divide the line in the ratio 4:5, the first 4 portions will be taken and last 5 left as shown. ∴ Answer =A  

9
