Division, Continued An alternate method of proportionally dividing lines into parts For an alternate method of proportionally dividing lines, use this table: Step Action 1 Given line AB, draw another line (CD) at any distance below and parallel to the given line. 2 Set your scale along CD with 0 at endpoint C and set off the desired number of increments. Here the increments are 0, 2, 5, and 9. 3 With a straightedge, draw lines through endpoints A and C (0) and B and D(9) to intersect (0) any distance above AB. 4 Using your straightedge, connect lines 2 and 5 to 0. Figure 2-23 is an alternate method for proportionally dividing lines. Figure 2-23.—An alternate method of dividing a line proportionately. 2-24
