Pepe uses these steps to partition segment AB in a ratio of 2:5.

1. Draw vertical segment BE.
2. Count squares and place point D to partition segment BE so that BD DE = 2:5.
3. Draw a horizontal segment from point D to where it intersects segment BA. Call this
point C.
Which is the best reason why Pepe's method works?
