Answer:
We can do it by using Pythagoras Theorem.
We can write
10
as follows:
10= 9+1⇒ 10
= 3 2 +1 2
The construction steps are as follows:
1. Take a line segment AO=3 unit on the x-axis. (consider 1 unit = 2 cm)
2. Draw a perpendicular on O and draw a line OC=1 unit
3. Now join AC with
10 .
4. Take A as center and AC as radius, draw an arc which cuts the x-axis at point E.
5. The line segment AC in the below diagram represents
10 units.
