Question

Divide a line segment of length $14cm$ internally in the ratio $2:5$.

Answer 1

Steps

Step 1: first draw line segment $AB=14cm$

Step 2: draw a ray $AX$ making an acute angle $\angle BAX=60$ with $AB$

Step 3: draw a ray $BY$ parallel to $AX$ by making an acute angle $\angle ABY=\angle BAX$

Step 4: mark points $A_1,A_2$ on $AX$, 5 points $B_1,B_2,B_3,B_4,B_5$ on $BY$

Step 5: Join $A_2{B}_5$
