                   1. Given a triangle with side AB=8 cm. To get a line segment AB' = ¾ of AB, it is
                       required to divided the line segment AB in ____ ratio.
                   2. Divide a line segment 7 cm into 5 equal parts.
                   3. Divide a line segment 6 cm long in the ratio 2 : 3. Justify your answer.
                                                                     0
                   4. Construct a ∆ ABC with BC = 6 cm,        A =60 and median AD through A is 5 cm
                       long . Construct a ∆ A'BC' similar to ∆ ABC with BC' = 8 cm . Write steps of
                       construction.
                   5. Construct a    ABC in which AB = 5 cm,      B = 60 and altitude CD = 3 cm.
                                                                         o
                       Construct a   AQR similar to   ABC such that each side of    AQR is 1.5 times
                       that of the corresponding side of  ABC.
