Line Division
Mathematically:
Use easy math when possible.
Basic Geometry:
Using dividers set more than half the line length.
From each end of the line scribe inward creating
common apex’s above and below the line. Join the
apex’s with a straight edge creating a center
point.
Ruler Method:
Draw a line on one end of the horizontal line at
90°. Using a rule place one end of the horizontal
line. Slide the other end up the vertical line until
you reach a number divisible by the number of
divisions required.
Trial & Error:
Guessing—Set Dividers—Step off required
number of divisions. Divide the remainder by the
number of divisions. Add this number to the
divider, step off again.
