Represent the number √5 and√10 on a
To on a number line
Answers
Answer:
Draw a number line. Mark O as the zero on the number line. Step 2: At point A, draw AB ⊥ OA such that AB = 1 unit. Step 3: With point O as the centre and radius OB, draw an arc intersecting the number line at point C.
Step-by-step explanation:
i. Draw a number line and take point A at 2.
Draw AB perpendicular to the number line such that
AB = 1 unit.
In ∆OAB, m∠OAB = 90° ∴ (OB)2 = (OA)2 + (AB)2 … [Pythagoras theorem]
= (2)2 + (1)2 ∴ (OB)2 = 5 ∴ OB = √5 units. …
[Taking square root of both sides]
With O as centre and radius equal to OB,

draw an arc to intersect the number line at C. The coordinate of the point C is √5. ii.
Draw a number line and take point Pat 3.
Draw PR perpendicular to the number line such that
PR = 1 unit.
In ∆OPR, m∠OPR = 90° ∴ (OR)2 = (OP)2 + (PR)2 …
[Pythagoras theorem]
= (3)2 + (1)2 ∴ (OR)2 = 10 ∴ OR = √10units. …
[Taking square root of both sides]
(DIAGRAM 2nd)........
With O as centre and radius equal to OR, draw an arc to intersect the number line at Q.
The coordinate of the point Q is √10
