In order to find the position of Vr on the number ine, we consider BC as the number line,
with B as the origin to represent zero. Since BC =1 so, C represents real number 1. Now, mark
oints C.C C such that CC, BC - 1,CG C = Bc - 1; C, Cg - BC 1 and so on.
Clearly, C C2, C3, representnumbers 2,3, 4, ... respectively.
Now, draw an arc with centre at B and radius equal to BD. Suppose this arc cuts the number
ne BC with B as the origin at E. Then, BE = /*. Consequently, E represents real number
