Point K is taken on segment AB 36 cm long. Find the length of segment AK: BK = 45

If you know the ratio of the segments and the total length, you can write the equations:

AK + BK = 36

AK / BK = 45

AK = 36 – BK

(36 – BK) / BK = 45

36 – BK = 45 * BK

45 * BK + BK = 36

46 BK = 36

BK = 36/46 = 18/23

AK = 36 – 18/23 = 18 * (2 – 1/23) = 18 * (46 – 1) / 23 = 18 * 45/23 = 810/23 = 35 5/23.

Answer: the length of the AK segment is 35 5/23 cm, the length of the VK segment is 18/23 cm.
