Question 28 (OR 2nd question) Draw a line segment of length 8 cm and divide it in the ratio 2:3
Steps of construction:
Draw line segment AB of length 8 cm
Draw any ray AX,
making an acute angle with AB.
Mark 5 (= 2 + 3) points ๐ด_1, ใ ๐ดใ_2, ๐ด_3, ๐ด_4, ๐ด_5 on AX such that ใ๐ด๐ดใ_1=๐ด_1 ๐ด_2=๐ด_2 ๐ด_3โฆโฆ. by drawing equal arcs
Join ใ๐ต๐ดใ_5.
Since we want the ratio 2 : 3,
Through point ๐ด_2 (m = 2), we draw a line parallel to ๐ด_5 ๐ต
by making โ AA5B = โ AA2C
So, we copy โ AA5B from point A5
Thus, AC : CB = 2 : 3.
On measuring AC and BC by scale.
AC = 3.2 cm & BC = 4.8 cm
