7.2A Meaning of Ratio
(a) A ratio is a comparison of two quantities of the same kind by division.
It has no unit.
(b) A ratio of a quantity p to a quantity q can be written as p : q or
q
p,
where p, q ≠ 0 and they are called the terms of the ratio.
e.g. Ratio of the lengths of A to B
= 3 cm : 5 cm
= 3 : 5

(b) A ratio p : q is in its simplest form if both p and q are integers and
they have no common factor other than 1.
e.g. 3 : 2 is in its simplest form but 6 : 4 is not.

7.3B Scale Drawings
(a) A scale drawing is a reduced or an enlarged drawing of a real object, where
the scale = length in the scale drawing : actual length.
(b) The scale is usually expressed in the form 1 : n:
(i) n > 1 stands for a reduction,
(ii) n < 1 stands for an enlargement.
e.g. Refer to the scale drawing of a tree in the figure.
Suppose the actual height of the tree is 3 m.
Scale = 2 cm : 3 m

8.3A Construction of Angle Bisector
Consider a given angle ∠AOB.
If OS bisects ∠AOB, i.e. ∠AOS = ∠BOS,
then OS is the angle bisector of ∠AOB.
1. Follow the steps below to construct the angle bisector of ∠AOB in the figure.

Step 1111: Draw a straight angle AOB.
(This step has been done for you.)
Step 2222: Bisect ∠AOB into ∠AOC and
∠BOC.
Then ∠AOC = ∠BOC = 90°.
Step 3333: Bisect ∠BOC into ∠BOD and
∠COD.
Then ∠BOD = ∠COD = 45°.
Which type of triangle can we get if we join BC?
Step 1111: Draw a line segment AB of suitable length.
Step 2222: Using A and B as centres and AB as radius, draw two arcs to meet at a point C.
Step 3333: Join AC.
Then we have ∠CAB = 60°.
Step 4444: Bisect ∠CAB into ∠CAD and
∠BAD.
