Introduction
In cases where we don’t know the length of the line segment, simple constructions can be used to divide the line in a given ratio.
Pre-Requisites:
Lines and angles
Activity:
Observe how bending one end of the wire to make it touch its other end, divides it into half.
Real Life Question:
Can you recall an example where dividing lengths equally is important?
