Oh, what a happy little question! To represent the square root of 3 on the number line, you simply find where it falls between whole numbers. Since the square root of 3 is between 1 and 2, you can place it around 1.7 on the number line with a little tick mark and a smile. Remember, there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents in math!

I assume you mean the square Root of 3.

You can't show it exactly as root 3 is an irrational number. BUT, you can show it approximately.

Root 3 = 1.732...

So put a mark between 1 and 2 on the number line at about 1.7.

From the point representing 1 on the number line, draw a line that is perpendicular to the number line and which is 1 unit in length. Join the top end of this line to the 0 on the number line. This line will be of length sqrt(2).

At the end of this line draw a line that is perpendicular to it, which is also of length 1 unit. Join the top end of this line to the 0 on the number line. This line will be of length sqrt(3).
