Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

We draw the right angle at the point of A and construct the right angle triangle ΔOAB such that AB=1unit. The line segment OB will be our choice for p=1. We take the arc OB=√5 from O and cut the number line at the point G. G will represent the number √5 in the number line.
