During the construction to divide line segment AB in the given ratio, we draw any ray AX, making an acute angle with AB.
A triangle similar to given ΔABCwith sides equal to 34 of the sides of ΔABC is to be constructed as the given image. Arrange the following steps of construction in order:
1. Join B4C and raw a line through B3( the third point, 3 being smaller of 4 in34) parallel to B4C to intersect BC at C'.
2. Draw any ray BX making an acute angle with BC on the side opposite to the vertex A.
3. Locate 4(the greater of 3 and 4 in34) points B1,B2,B3 and B4 on BX so that BB1=B1B2=B2B3=B3B4
4. Draw a line through C' parallel to the line CA to intersect BA at A'.

For the construction of similar triangle, we draw a ray BX making an acute angle with BC on the side opposite to to the vertex A.

Here we construct A′C′||AC by making ∠A′C′B=∠ACB and we used the corresponding angle property (if corresponding angles of two lines are equal, then the lines are parallel).
Steps to divide a line segment AB in the given ratio m : n by drawing alternated angles is given. Choose the correct order.
1.Draw any ray AX making acute angle with AB and ray BY such that ∠BAX=∠ABY.
2.Locate the points A1,A2,A3...Am on AX and B1,B2,B3...Bn on BY such that AA1=A1A2=BB1=B1B2
3.Draw a ray BY parallel to AX by making ∠ABY=∠BAX
4.Join AmBn.

Steps to divide a line segment AB in the given ratio m:n by corresponding angles method is given. Choose the correct order.
1.Draw any ray AX making acuter angle with AB.
2Draw a ray BY parallel to AX by making ∠ABY=∠BAX
3..Locate the points A1,A2,A3...Am on AX and B1,B2,B3...Bn on BY such that AA1=A1A2=BB1=B1B2
4.Join AmBn. Let it intersect AB at point C.
Then we get,

In the ratio between sides 34 , 4>3
⇒ The number of points to be marked on BX to construct similar triangles is 4.
What is the ratio ACBC for the line segment AB following the construction method below?
Step 1. A ray is extended from A and 30 arcs of equal lengths are cut, cutting the ray at A1,A2,...,A30
Step 2. A line is drawn from A30 to B and a line parallel to A30B is drawn, passing through the point A17 and meet AB at C.
:
B
Here the total number of arcs is equal to m+n in the ratio m:n.
The triangles △ AA17C and △ AA30B are similar.
Hence, ACAB = AA17AA30=1730
BCAB = AB−ACAB
BCAB = 1 - 1730 = 1330
Hence, ACBC = 1713→17:13
