Episode Synopsis "Construction: Dividing a segment into a given ratio"

In this video I will take you through the construction steps to divide a given line segment into a specific ratio. I will construct two different ratios in this video, the technique is essentially the same for any ratio. You will need a compass and straightedge to follow along. Dividing a segment into a given […]
