Question
Represent $\sqrt{7.28}$ geometrically on the number line.
✓
Answer
Draw a line segment AB = 7.28 units and extend it to C such that BC = 1 unit.
Find the midpoint O of AC.
With O as centre and OA as radius, draw a semicircle.
Now, draw $\text{BD}\perp\text{AC},$ intersecting the semicircle at D.
Then, $\text{BD}=\sqrt{7.28}\ \text{units}.$
With D as centre and BD as radius, draw an arc, meeting AC produced at E.
Then, $\text{BE}=\text{BD}=\sqrt{7.28}\ \text{units}.$
