Answer 1

Answer:

√5=2.24

hope this number line helps....

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw number line as shown in the figure. Let the point O represent 0(zero) and point A represents 2. Draw perpendicular AX at A on the number line and cut-off arc AB=1unit.

We have OA=2 units and AB=1unit

Using pythagoras theorem, we have,

OB 2 =OA 2 +AB 2

OB 2 =(2) 2 +1 2 =5

OB= 5

Taking O as the centre and OB= 5, as radius draw an arc cutting real line at C.Clearly,OC=OB= 5 .

Hence, C represents 5 on the number line.
