Answer:

This image is showig how to divide a given line segment into a number of equal parts by using a compass and ruler. First, draw the line AB. Secondly, draw a line above and divide into 5 equal distances to make a line AC. Third, using a compass by getting the distance of point C and B to be equal in the distance of point A and D, also getting the distance of point C to A to be equal to point B and D, then to make the Line DB. Finally divide into 5 equal parts by compass.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope that help.
