Question

Divide a line segment of length $9cm$ internally in the ratio $4:3$.

Answer 1

Steps

Step 1: first draw line segment $AB=9cm$

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 $A_1,A_2,A_3,A_4$ on $AX$, 4 points $B_1,B_2,B_3$ on $BY$

Step 5: Join $A_4{B}_3$
