Answer

Steps of construction :

  1. Draw a line segment XY.

  2. Draw OB = 1 cm which is perpendicular to the line XY at point O.

  3. From B draw an arc of 2 cm cutting XY at A.

  4. Join BA and OA.

Draw a line segment of length √3 cm. Rational and Irrational Numbers, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

So, OAB is the right angle triangle.

By pythagoras theorem,

⇒ AB2 = OB2 + OA2

⇒ 22 = 12 + OA2

⇒ OA2 = 4 - 1

⇒ OA2 = 3

⇒ OA = 3\sqrt{3} cm.

Hence, OA is the required line of 3\sqrt{3} cm.
