Construction Procedure:
A line segment with a measure of 7.6 cm length is divided in the ratio of 5:8 as follows.
1. Draw line segment AB with the length measure of 7.6 cm
2. Draw a ray AX that makes an acute angle with line segment AB.
3. Locate the points i.e.,13 (= 5+8) points, such as A1, A2, A3, A4 …….. A13, on the ray AX such that it becomes AA1 = A1A2 = A2A3 and so on.
4. Join the line segment and the ray, BA13.
5. Through the point A5, draw a line parallel to BA13 which makes an angle equal to ∠AA13B
6. The point A5 which intersects the line AB at point C.
7. C is the point divides line segment AB of 7.6 cm in the required ratio of 5:8.
8. Now, measure the lengths of the line AC and CB. It comes out to the measure of 2.9 cm and 4.7 cm respectively.
Justification:
The construction of the given problem can be justified by proving that
AC/CB = 5/ 8
By construction, we have A5C || A13B. From Basic proportionality theorem for the triangle AA13B, we get
AC/CB =AA5/A5A13….. (1)
From the figure constructed, it is observed that AA5 and A5A13 contain 5 and 8 equal divisions of line segments respectively.
Therefore, it becomes
AA5/A5A13=5/8… (2)
Compare the equations (1) and (2), we obtain
AC/CB = 5/ 8
Hence, Justified.
