Question

draw a line segment AB of 5 4 cm and divide it in 6 equal parts

Ashutosh Verma · Accepted Answer

Answer :

We divide line segment AB of 5 4 cm in 6 equal parts , As :

Step 1 : Draw a line AB = 5 4 cm

Step 2 : Draw a line AC as ∠ BAC is an acute angle

Step 3 : Draw a line BD as ∠ ABD = ∠ BAC

Step 4 : Now take suitable radius and divide line AC in 6 equal
parts , As AC1 = C1C2 =
C2C3 = C3C4 =
C4C5 = C5C6

Step 5 : With same radius ( Used in step 4 ) divide line BD in 6
equal parts , As BD1 = D1D2 =
D2D3 = D3D4 =
D4D5 = D5D6

Step 6 : Now Join C6 to B and C5 to
D1 and C4 to D2 and C3
to D3 and C2 to D4 and
C1 to D5 and A to D6

Here we get AP = PQ = QR = RS = ST = TB
