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:

According to the question,

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.
