Question:
Draw a line segment AB = 6 cm. Find a point C on AB such that AC : CB = 3 : 2. Measure AC and CB
Answer:
Given Line AB = 6cm
Given AC : CB = 3 : 2
Let AC = 3x and CB = 2x
Now AC + CB = 6
=> 3x + 2x = 6
=> 5x = 6
=> x =6/5
Now AC = 3x = 3 * 6/5
= 18/5
=> AC = 3.6 cm
CB = 2x = 2 * 6/5
= 12/5
=> CB = 2.4 cm
