draw the line segment of length 7cm and divided in the ratio 3:2 measure the two parts justify your construction

Dear Student,

Solution: Draw a line segment AB = 7cm.

Draw a ray AX which makes an acute angle with AB.

Locate 5 points (3+2) A₁, A₂, A₃,A₄,A₅ on AX so that;

AA₁ = A₁A₂ = A₂A₃ = A₃A₄ = A₄A₅

Join A₅ to B.

Through the point A₅, draw a line A₃C || A₅B; which intersects AB at point C.

We get; AC : CB = 3:2

AC = 4.2 cm and CB = 2.8 cm
