Answer» To draw square root of 5 on a number line, FOLLOWING steps are to be followed. Step 1: Draw a number line. Mark O as the ZERO on the number line. Step 2: Mark a POINT A as -5 on the number line. Step 3: Mark a point C as 1 on the number line .Step 4: Mark a point B as the mid-point of AC. Step 5: With point B as the centre and radius as AB draw a semicircle. Step 6: From O draw a perpendicular line to the number line that intersects the previous drawn semi-circle at D. Here OD = square root of 5. Step 7: With O as centre and radius as OD, draw an arc that intersects the number line at point E. Here E is the point square root of 5 on the number line. |
