Question

Show how cube root 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.

The line segment AC represents √5 unit
