Consider the number 10\sqrt{10}. (a) Construct and mark the point representing 10\sqrt{10} on a number line taking O(0)O(0) as the origin. Show all construction lines clearly. (b) Measure the distance of the point obtained from OO with a ruler and write its value correct to two decimal places. (c) Square the decimal value written in part (b) and verify that it is close to 1010, commenting on the accuracy of your construction.
