which point on a number line best represents the square root of three?
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "You will need a protractor to draw the arc of a circle.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a number line and mark two points: x=0 and x=1
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a perpendicular at x=1 that is as long as the
\n" ); document.write( "distance from 0 to 1.
\n" ); document.write( "Connect x=0 to the top of that perpendicular.
\n" ); document.write( "The distance from 0 to the top is sqrt(2).
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Using the 0-point as center and radius = sqrt(2),
\n" ); document.write( "draw an arc of a circle from the top of the perpendicular
\n" ); document.write( "down to the number line.
\n" ); document.write( "Where the arc touches the number line is the sqrt(2) point.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a perpendicular at the point that is \"one\" high.
\n" ); document.write( "Draw the line segment from x=0 to the top of that
\n" ); document.write( "perpendicular.
\n" ); document.write( "The length of that line segment is sqrt(3).
\n" ); document.write( "Using the 0-point as center and radius = sqrt(3),
\n" ); document.write( "draw an arc of a circle from the top of the perpendicular
\n" ); document.write( "to the number line.
\n" ); document.write( "Where the arc touches the number line is the sqrt(3) point.
