Açıklama
Let the point be x
\(\frac{2}{x}\) = \(\frac{3}{100 - x}\)
making x subject of formula,
2(100 - x) = 3x
200 - 2x = 3x
200 = 3x + 2x
200 = 5x
divide both side by 5
x = 40cm
\(\frac{2}{x}\) = \(\frac{3}{100 - x}\)
making x subject of formula,
2(100 - x) = 3x
200 - 2x = 3x
200 = 3x + 2x
200 = 5x
divide both side by 5
x = 40cm
