Question

What is the absolute value of $\sqrt{2}$?

Answer 1

Absolute value:

The absolute value represents the distance of a number from zero on the number line. Since distance can not be negative. Therefore, the absolute value of any number will be always positive.

As we know, $\sqrt{2}=1.414$

$\therefore \left|\sqrt{2}\right|=\sqrt{2}=1.414$, it represents the distance of the number $\sqrt{2}$ from zero on the number line is $\sqrt{2}\mathrm{units}$.

Hence, the absolute value of $\sqrt{2}$ is $\sqrt{2}$.
