Show how can be represented on the number line.
To represent on number line let us follow the given procedure:
Step 1: Let us assume line be of unit on a number line.
Step 2: At , draw a perpendicular line of length unit.
Step 3: Join
Step 4: Now, we get as a right-angled triangle.
On applying Pythagoras theorem,
Thus, is a line of length unit.
Step 5: Considering as a radius and as a centre draw an arc touching the number line.
The point at which number line get intersected by arc is at distance from because it is a radius of the circle whose centre was .
Hence, is represented on the number line as shown in the figure.
