Answer:

Explanation:

To divide AB into 5 equal segments, you can follow these steps:

1. Start by drawing a line segment AB of any length.

2. Use a ruler or compass to measure the length of AB.

3. Divide the measured length of AB by 5 to determine the length of each segment.

4. Mark the starting point A of the line segment.

5. From point A, measure the determined length of the segment and mark a point. This will be the endpoint of the first segment.

6. Repeat step 5 four more times, each time measuring the determined length from the previous endpoint to mark the next endpoint of each segment.

7. Connect the endpoints of the segments to create a divided line segment with 5 equal segments.

By following these steps, you will be able to construct a figure where line segment AB is divided into 5 equal segments.

Remember to use a ruler or compass to ensure accurate measurements and markings.
