How to divide a line segment into five equal parts. Please answer me fast. I need it for my homework |
| Answer» ◆ draw a line segment at an angle to the given line, and about the same length. The exact length is not important.Geometry construction with compass and ruler ◆Set the compasses on A, and set its width to a bit less than one fifth of the length of the new line. Geometry construction with compass and ruler.◆the compasses along the line, marking off 5 arcs.◆ Label the last one CGeometry construction with compass and ruler.◆With the compasses\' width set to CB, draw an arc from A just below it.\tGeometry construction with compass and straightedge or ruler or ruler◆With the compasses\' width set to AC, draw an arc from B crossing the one drawn in step 4. This intersection is point D.Geometry construction with compass and ruler.◆Draw a line from D to B.Geometry construction with compass and straightedge or ruler or ruler.◆Using the same compasses\' width as used to step along AC, step the compasses from D along DB making 4 new arcs across the line.Geometry construction with compass and straightedge or ruler or ruler.◆Draw lines between the corresponding points along AC and DB.\tGeometry construction with compass or ruler.◆ The lines divide the given line segment AB in to 5 congruent parts. | |
