Representing Square Roots on the Number Line
2020-06-10 19:27
This GeoGebra example demonstrates how to geometrically construct and locate square root numbers (irrational numbers such as √2, √3, √5) on the number line. By constructing right triangles and applying the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse lengths are transferred onto the number line to pinpoint irrational values. The construction employs GeoGebra commands including Intersect, Sequence, and Vect
