Question
Show the following numbers on a number line. Draw a separate number line for the example.
`3/2 , 5/2 , -3/2`
Solution
`3/2 , 5/2 , -3/2` can be represented on the number line as follows.
Here, the denominator of each fraction is 2.
∴ Each unit will be divided into 2 equal parts.

The number `sqrt2` is shown on a number line. Steps are given to show `sqrt3` on the number line using `sqrt2`. Fill in the boxes properly and complete the activity.
Activity :
- The point Q on the number line shows the number ______.
- A line perpendicular to the number line is drawn through the point Q. Point R is at unit distance from Q on the line.
- Right angled ∆ORQ is obtained by drawing seg OR.
`l ("OQ") = sqrt2` , `l("QR") = 1`
`therefore` by Pythagoras theorem,
`[l("OR")]^2 = [l("OQ")]^2 + [l("QR")]^2 `
= `square^2`+ `square^2` = `square` + `square`
= `square`
∴ l(OR) = `square`
Draw an arc with centre O and radius OR. Mark the point of intersection of the line and the arc as C. The point C shows the number `sqrt3`.
