1. Draw a line segment of length 7.2 cm and divide it in the ratio 5 : 3. Measure the
two parts.
Sol: Steps of construction:
1. Draw a line segment AB=7.2 cm.
2. Draw a ray AX through A making an acute angle with AB.
3. Locate 8 points 𝐴1 , 𝐴2 , 𝐴3 , 𝐴4 , 𝐴5 , 𝐴6 , 𝐴7 , 𝐴8 on ⃗⃗⃗⃗⃗
𝐴𝑋 such that 𝐴𝐴1 = 𝐴1 𝐴2 = 𝐴2 𝐴3 =
𝐴3 𝐴4 = 𝐴4 𝐴5 = 𝐴5 𝐴6 = 𝐴6 𝐴7 = 𝐴7 𝐴8
4. Join A8 B . Now through point 𝐴5 draw a line parallel to 𝐴8 𝐵 intersecting AB at C

similar to a given triangle ABC with its sides equal to of corresponding sides of
4

ABC
Steps of constructions:
1. Construct ABC with AB=5cm, BC=6cm and AC=7cm
2. Draw a ray BX, making an acute angle with BC on the side opposite to vertex A.
3. Locate 4 points B1, B2, B3 and B4 on BX so that BB1=B1B2=B2B3=B3B4
4. Join B4C and draw a line through B3 parallel to B4C intersecting BC at C.
5. Draw a line through C parallel to CA to intersect AB at A. So  A’ BC’ is the
