Question

Locate square root of 10 on number line

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a line segment AO = 3 unit on the x-axis. ( consider 1 unit = 2cm)

Draw a perpendicular on O and draw a line OC = 1 unit.

Now join AC with √10.

Take A as center and AC as radius, draw an arc which cuts the x-axis at point E.

The line segment AC represents √10 units.

ANSWER

We can do it by using Pythagoras Theorem.

We can write

√10

as follows:

√10=√9+1

⇒√10=√3*2+1*2

The construction steps are as follows:

1. Take a line segment AO=3 unit on the x-axis. (consider 1 unit = 2 cm)

2. Draw a perpendicular on O and draw a line OC=1 unit

3. Now join AC with

10

.

4. Take A as center and AC as radius, draw an arc which cuts the x-axis at point E.

5. The line segment AC in the below diagram represents

10

units.
