Question

locate √17 on number line
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

• first write the given no. and sum of squares of two numbers
• take any one of the numbers as base and other as height (if one no. is 4^2, take it as 4cm for base) (e.g- 4^2 =4cm, 2^2=2cm ,etc)
• take a compass and take the length of the height with a scale (e.g - 4cm = place one end of compass at 0 and other at 4)
• bisect AC with the measurement ( place pointer at angle A and draw a line (bisect) on AC )
• join angle B and the point where AC is bisected
• take measurement of B and bisected point and bisect line G (place compass pointer at B and pencil and bisected point and move it like a semi circle which bisects line G)
• mark bisected point on line G as E
• CONCLUSION- BE=BC = square root 17
