How can we represent √3 on a number line
Open in App
Solution
First we draw a line OA of unit 1 Setp 2 -Now we draw a perpendicular of length unit 1 on point A As AB. Now from Pythagoras theorem we know Hypotenuse OB =√2 Step 3 take are of length OB and draw it on number line, That meet at E on number line So at E we can represent √2 Step 4 Now we take OB as base and draw a perpendicular on B As BC. Now we know from Pythagoras theorem hypotenuse OC =√3 Step 5 -Take arc of length OC and draw it on number line as it meet at D on number line So at D we can represent √3
