Question

Represent geometrically the following number on the number line:

`sqrt(8.1)`

Diagram
Sum

Solution

Draw a line segment such that AB = 8.1 units.

Mark C at a distance of 1 unit from B.

Mark O is the mid-point of AC.

Draw a semicircle with centre O and radius OC.

Draw a line perpendicular to AC, passing through B and intersecting the semicircle at D.

Now, BD = `sqrt(8.1)`.

Draw an arc with centre B and radius BD, meeting AC produced at E.

Then BE = BD = `sqrt(8.1)` units.
