To construct a triangle similar to a given ΔABC with its sides $\frac{8}{5}$ of the corresponding sides of ΔABC draw a ray BX such that $\angle$CBX is an acute angle and X is on the opposite side of A with respect to BC. Then minimum number of points to be located at equal distances on ray BX is 8. Explanation: To construct a triangle similar to a given triangle, with its sides m/n of the corresponding sides of given triangle the minimum number of points to be located at equal distance is equal to the greater of m and n in m/n. Here, m/n=$\frac{8}{5}$ So, the minimum number of points to be located at equal distance on ray BX is 8.
