Determine a point which divides a line segment of length 12 cm internally in the ratio of 2: 3. Also, justify your construction.
Steps of Construction:
1. Draw a line segment AB of 12 cm
2. Through the points A and B draw two parallel line on the opposite side of AB
3. Cut 2 equal parts on AX and 3 equal parts on BY such that AX1 = X1X2 and BX1 = Y1Y2 = Y2Y3.
4. Join X2Y3 which intersects AB at P
∴ AP/PB = 2/3.
Justification:
In ΔAX2P and ΔBY3P, we have
∠APX2 = ∠BPY3 {Because they are vertically opposite angle}
∠X2AP = ∠Y3BP {Because they are alternate interior angles}
ΔAX2P ΔBY3P {Because AA similarity}
∴ AP/BP = AX2/BY3 = 2/3 {Because of C.P.C.T}
Divide a line segment of length 9 cm internally in the ratio 4 : 3. Also, give justification for the construction.
Steps of construction:
1. Draw a line segment AB of 9 cm
2. Through the points, A and B, draw two parallel lines AX and BY on the opposite side of AB
3. Cut 4 equal parts on AX and 3 equal parts on BY such that: AX1 = X1X2 = X2X3 = X3X4 and BY1 = Y1Y2 = Y2Y3
4. Join X4Y3 which intersects AB at P
∴ AP/PB = 4/3
In ΔAPX4 and ΔBPY3, we have
∠APX4 = ∠BPY3 {Because they are vertically opposite angles}
∠PAX4 = ∠PBY3 {Because they are alternate interior angle}
ΔAPX4 ΔBPY3 {Because AA similarity}
∴ PAPB = AX4/BY3 = 4/3 {Because of C.P.C.T}
Divide a line segment of length 14 cm internally in the ratio 2 : 5. Also, give justification for the construction.
1. Draw a line segment AB of 14 cm
2. Through the points A and B, draw two parallel lines AX and BY on the opposite side of AB
3. Starting from A, Cut 2 equal parts on AX and starting from B, cut 5 equal parts on BY such that: AX1 = X1X2 and BY1 = Y1Y2 = Y2Y3 = Y3Y4 = Y4Y5
4. Join X2Y5 which intersects AB at P
∴ AP/PB = 2/5
In ΔAPX2 and ΔBPY5, we have
∠APX2 = ∠BPY5 {Because they are vertically opposite angles}
∠PAX2 = ∠PBY5 {Because they are alternate interior angles}
Then, ΔAPX2 ΔBPY5 {Because AA similarity}
∴ AP/PB = AX2/BY5 = 2/5 {Because of C.P.C.T}
