Question

show how /5 can be represented on the number line​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

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 point B 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.
