1.	√2 Represent the following irrational number on the number line
Answer» I am just telling the steps of making root 2 on a number line. You just make it. Steps are :- 1) Make a line of 1 cm and name the line AB.2) Make angle B = 90 degree.3) Open the compass on the scale and measure 1 cm. Then, cut an arc from point B and name the point as C.4) Join the line from point C to point A.5) AC = Root 26) Extend the line.7) Now measure the length of AC and put the compass on A and make a dotted line on the line AB.Now I will tell you how AC is root 2 we had calculated.By Pythagoras theorem (Hypotenuse) square = (Base) square + (Perpendicular) square( AC) square =(AB) square + (BC) square( AC) square = (1) square + (1) square( AC) square =1 + 1( AC) square = 2 AC = Root 2 Thank you.
