Question

By geometrical construction, it is possible to divide a line segment in the ratio `sqrt(3) : 1/sqrt(3)`

Options

• True

• False

Answer 1

This statement is True.

Explanation:

Ratio= `sqrt(3) : 1/sqrt(3)`

On simplifying we get,

`sqrt(3) : 1/sqrt(3) = (sqrt(3) xx sqrt(3))/1` = 3:1

Required ratio = 3:1

Hence,

Geometrical construction is possible to divide a line segment in the ratio 3:1.
