Answer» Answer: STEPS OF CONSTRUCTION: 1.DRAW line segment of LENGTH AB=8cm. 2. Draw any Ray AX making acute ∠BAX with AB 3. Draw a parallel to BY parallel to AX by making∠ABY=∠BAX. 4. MAKE 3 points A 1
,A 2
,A 3
on AX & 4 points B 1
,B 2
,B 3
,B 4
on BY such that AA 1
=A 1
A 2
=A 2
A 3
=BB 1
=B 1
B 2
=B 2
B 3
=B 3
B 4
5. Join A 3
B 4
. Then it intersect AB at a point P. Thus P is the point of dividing AB internally in the RATIO 3:4. |
