Draw a line segment of length 7 cm and divide it internally in the ratio 2 : 3 .

Steps of construction:


1. Draw a line segment AB = 7cm



2. Now, draw a ray AX making an acute angle ∠BAX with AB



3. Draw a ray BY parallel to AX by making an acute angle ∠ABY = ∠BAX



4. Mark of two points A1, A2 on AX and three points B1, B2, B3 on BY in such a way that AA1 = A1A2 = BB1 = B1B2 = B2B3



5. Join A2B3, and this line intersects AB at a point P


Thus, P is the point dividing AB internally in the ration of 2:3
