- how do we draw root 9.3 on a number line
To locate on the number line, we have to follow the steps given below.
(1) Draw a line AB = 9.3 units and BC = 1 unit.
(2) Find the mid-point of AC and mark it as O. Taking O as the centre and OA as the radius, draw a semi-circle.
(3) From B, draw a perpendicular to AC. Let it meet the semi-circle at D. Taking B as the centre and BD as the radius, draw an arc that intersects the line at E.
Now, the distance BE on the line is units.
@ Neha : You have provided the right figure but there is an error in naming. The point on extension of the line AB is E not D.
