Divide a Line into any Number of Equal Parts

-


Divide a line AB of length 110mm into 7 equal parts.

 Steps

  • Draw a line AB of length of 110mm.
  • Draw a line AC of any length inclined to some convenient acute angle to line AB.
  • With the help of divider, divide a line AC into sever 7 equal parts (1’, 2’, ….7’) of any dimension.
  • Join points C and B by straight line.
  • Draw the lines from the divisions 6’, 5’, 4’…..1’ parallel to line CB or 7-7’ intersecting AB at 6, 5, 4, …..1.
  • Points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are indicating equal divisions.

Inscribe a regular heptagon in a circle of diameter 60 mm Heptagon Inscribed in a circle Draw a circle of diameter 60mm. Draw a diameter line AB. By taking center A and radius AO, draw an arc EF. Draw a straight line EF, intersecting the line AB at point G. Length GE or GF is the representing length of sides of pentagon. Therefore, by taking distance equal to EG in the compass, make seven equal divisions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 on the circle. Join all the divisions by straight lines and obtain the heptagon.
