Represent 7.2\sqrt{7.2} on the number line. a. (i) Express 7.27.2 in the form mn\dfrac{m}{n}, where mm and nn are positive integers. b. (ii) Using a suitable unit so that your construction can be carried out with whole-number lengths, obtain a line segment whose length is 7.2\sqrt{7.2}. Write all steps of construction clearly. c. (iii) Transfer the point obtained in part (ii) to the original unit number line and state the value of 7.2\sqrt{7.2} correct to two decimal places.
