Question

Draw a segment and let its length be $s$. Construct a segment whose length is $s\sqrt{3}$.

Short answer

A line segment equal tolength $8.7$

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Given information.

A segment is given with length $s$.

Step 2. Draw the line segment of s.

First draw a line segment equal to $s$

Let $s=5$

So,

Step 3. Now, draw the line segment of s3.

Now,

$\begin{array}{l}s\sqrt{3}=5\sqrt{3}\\ =8.7\end{array}$

Draw a line segment equal to $8.7$

Therefore, the line segment equal to length $8.7$as shown above.
