Draw a line segment of 7.6cm and divides it in the ratio 5:8 measure t

1.	Draw a line segment of 7.6cm and divides it in the ratio 5:8 measure to two parts
Answer» Step 1: Draw segment\xa0AB\xa0of length\xa07.6\xa0cm\xa0using a ruler.Step 2: Draw a ray\xa0AC\xa0having an acute angle with line\xa0AB.Step 3: Mark\xa013\xa0equidistant points on ray\xa0AC,\xa0A1\u200b,A2\u200b,A3\u200b,...,A13\u200bStep 4: Join\xa0A13\u200b\xa0to\xa0BStep 5: Draw\xa0A5\u200bP\xa0parallel to\xa0A13\u200bB.Point\xa0P\xa0divides\xa0AB\xa0in the ratio\xa05:8. Measuring the lengths, we get\xa0AP=2.9\xa0cm\xa0and\xa0PB=4.7\xa0cm.
