Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

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.
