Question

locate√5 on number line
​

Answer 1

Answer :

To draw square root of 5 on a number line, following steps are to be followed :

Step 1 : Draw a number line. Mark O as the zero on the number line.

Step 2 : Mark a point A as -5 on the number line.

Step 3 : Mark a point C as 1 on the number line.

Step 4 : Mark a point B as the mid point of AC.

Step 5 : With a point as the centre and radius as AB draw a semicircle.

Step 6 : From O draw a perpendicular line to the number line that intersects the previous drawn semi-circle at D. Here OD = square root of 5.

Step 7 : With O as centre and radius as OD, draw an arc that intersects the number line at point E. Here E is the point square root of 5 on the number line.
