To divide a line segment AB in the ratio 4:7, a ray AX is drawn first such that BAX is an acute angle and then points A1, A2, A3,.......... are located at equal distances on the ray AX and the point B is joined to


Given, a line segment AB in the ratio 4:7


A:B = 4:7


Now,


Draw a ray AX which makes an acute angle BAX



Minimum number of points located at equal distances on the ray AX = A+B


= 4+7


= 11


A1, A2, A3, .......... are located at equal distances on the ray AX.


Point B is joined to the last point is A11.
