Question

Steps to divide a line segment AB in the given ratio 3 : 2 by corresponding angles method is given. Choose the correct order.

1. Draw any ray AX making an acute angle with AB
2.Locate 5 points$A_1,A_2,A_3....A_5$ on ray AX
3. Join $B{A}_5$
4.Draw a line parallel to $B{A}_5$ through $A_3$ to AB.

• A. 2,1,3,4
• B. 1,2,3,4
• C. 1,3,2,4
• D. 2,3,1,4

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1,2,3,4

To divide a line segment by corresponding angle method, we have to follow the steps
1. Draw any ray AX making an acute angle with AB
2.Locate (m+n) $A_1,A_2,A_3..A_{m+n}$ points in AX
3. Join B$A_{m+n}$
4.Draw a line parallel to B$A_{m+n}$ through $A_m$ to AB.
