उत्तर
Step 1
Draw a line segment AB = 4 cm. Taking point A as centre, draw an arc of 5 cm radius. Similarly, taking point B as its centre, draw an arc of 6 cm radius. These arcs will intersect each other at point C. Now, AC = 5 cm and BC = 6 cm and ΔABC is the required triangle.
Step 2
Draw a ray AX making an acute angle with line AB on the opposite side of vertex C.
Step 3
Locate 3 points A1, A2, A3 (as 3 is greater between 2 and 3) on line AX such that AA1 = A1A2 = A2A3.
Step 4
Join BA3 and draw a line through A2 parallel to BA3 to intersect AB at point B'.
Step 5
Draw a line through B' parallel to the line BC to intersect AC at C'.
ΔAB'C' is the required triangle.
Justification
The construction can be justified by proving that
`AB' = 2/3AB, B'C' = 2/3BC, AC' = 2/3 AC`
By construction, we have B’C’ || BC
∴ ∠AB'C'= ∠ABC (Corresponding angles)
In ΔAB'C' and ΔABC,
∠AB'C' = ∠ABC (Proved above)
∠B'AC' = ∠BAC (Proved above)
∴ ΔAB'C' ~ ΔABC (AA similarity criterion)
`=> (AB')/(AB) = (B'C')/(BC) = (AC')/(AC) ....(1)`
In ΔAA2B' and ΔAA3B,
∠A2AB' = ∠A3AB (Common)
∠AA2B' = ∠AA3B (Corresponding angles)
∴ ΔAA2B' ∼ ΔAA3B (AA similarity criterion)
`=> (AB')/(AB) = (`
`=> (AB')/(AB) = 2/3 ....(2)`
From equations (1) and (2), we obtain
`(AB')/(AB) = (B'C')/(BC) = (AC')/(AC) = 2/3`
`=>AB' = 2/3(AB), B'C' = 2/3(BC), AC' = 2/3(AC)`
This justifies the construction.

If the point P(6, 7) divides the segment joining A(8, 9) and B(1, 2) in some ratio, find that ratio.
Solution:
Point P divides segment AB in the ratio m : n.
A(8, 9) = (x1, y1), B(1, 2) = (x2, y2) and P(6, 7) = (x, y)
Using Section formula of internal division,
∴ `7 = (m(square) - n(9))/(m + n)`
∴ 7m + 7n = `square` + 9n
∴ 7m – `square` = 9n – `square`
∴ `square` = 2n
∴ `m/n = square`
