Question

Show how 5 can be represented on the number line.​

Answer 1

STEPS TO REPRESENT 5 IN NUMBER LINE:

• Take a line segment AB = 2 units (consider 1 unit = 2 cm) on x-axis. Draw a perpendicular on B and construct a line BC = 1 unit length.
• Join AC which will be √5 (Pythagoras theorem).
• Take A as center, and AC as radius draw an which cuts the x-axis at point E.
