Question 395026: The point on a coordinate line corresponding to the root of 2 may be determined by constructing a right triangle with sides of length 1. Determine the points that correspond to the root of 3, and the root of 5, respectively. Use the pythagorean theorem. This question is in the precalculus functions and graphs textbook.
