• A₁₁

• A₁₀

• A₉

Answer 1

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 `underlinebb(A_11)`.

Explanation:

Here minimum 4 + 7 = 11 points are located at equal distances on the ray AX and then B is joined to last point, i.e., A_11.
