HOW TO DIVIDE A LINE SEGMENT OF 6.4cm INTO 3 EQUAL PARTS????

To divide a line segment of length 6.4 cm into three equal parts, we follow the below given steps.

1. Draw a line segment PQ of length 6.4 cm.
2. Draw a ray PX making an acute angle with PQ
3. Draw another ray QY parallel to PX (∠PQY = ∠QPX) on the opposite side of PX.
4. Locate three points P₁, P₂ and P₃ on PX and three points Q₁, Q₂, and Q₃ on QY such that PP₁ = P₁P₂ = P₂P₃ = QQ₁ = Q₁Q₂ = Q₂Q₃.
5. Join PQ₃, P₁Q₂, P₂Q₁ and P₃Q which intersects PQ at A and B.

  6. Points A and B divide PQ into three equal parts such that PA = AB = BQ.
