Why is it better to use a divider than a ruler, while measuring the length of a line segment?

Why is it better to use a divider than a ruler, while comparing two line segments?

What other errors can you find while measuring the length of line segment?

The length of a line segments can be measured.

Explain the precautions that should be taken while measuring length using a ruler

The length of a line segment AB is 38 cm. A point X on it divides it in the ratio 9:10. Find the length of the line segments AX and XB.

The length of a line segment AB is 38 cm. A point X on it divides it in the ratio of 9:10. Find the lengths of the line segments Ax and XB.

Statement A: ruler is used to draw linessegment.statement B:divider is used to compare lengths of linessegment.

Assertion : is greater than . Reason : Line segments can be compared by measuring their lengths using a ruler and divider.

Line segment AB is divided into five equal parts. If the length of the line segment AB is 15 cm, find the length of the line segments AX and XB.
