Textbook Question
Chapter 59, Problem 1A
Trace this line segment two times. On one copy construct a perpendicular bisector of the segment. On the other copy divide the segment into three equal segments.
Expert Solution & Answer

To determine
To construct:
A perpendicular bisector of the line segment.
To divide: The line segment into three equal parts.
Answer to Problem 1A
Area
Explanation of Solution
Steps of construction:
- Taking A as a centre and radius more than half of AB, draw arcs on both the above and below the line segment AB as shown in figure (a).
- Similarly, taking B as a centre and radius same as above draw another arc on both the sides of the line segment that intersects the first pair of arcs as shown in the diagram (b).
- Join both the arcs by drawing a straight line. Line CD as shown in figure (c), is the perpendicular bisector of line segment AB with O as a centre.
Divide the line segment into three equal parts:
Steps of construction:
- From point A, draw a line segment AC forming an angle with AB as shown in fig(a).
- On line segment AC with the help of a compass mark three equal arcs D, E and F of any length (b).
- Connect point F with point B.
- Now taking F as a centre, draw arcs which intersect the line segment AC at G and BF at H.
- Repeat the procedure by taking D and E as centre and mark an arc of same radii as shown in figure.
- With the help of a compass measure the distance GH and mark the same distance from other two arcs as well which intersects the arcs at point K and M respectively.
- Join E with K and D with M and extending the lines past AB. Thus, line segment AB is divided into three equal parts.

6. Modelling. Suppose that we have two tanks (A and B) between which a mixture of brine
flows. Tank A contains 200 liters of water in which 50 kilograms of salt has been dissolved
and Tank B contains 100 liters of pure water. Water containing 1kg of salt per liter is
pumped into Tank A at the rate of 5 liters per minute. Brine mixture is pumped into
Tank A from Tank B at the rate of 3 liters per minute and brine mixture is pumped from
Tank A into Tank B at the rate of 8 liters per minute. Brine is drained from Tank B at a
rate of 5 liters per minute.
(a) Draw and carefully label a picture of the situation, including both tanks and the flow
of brine between them.
