8.
Which number line represents $\sqrt{49}$?

 a. Figure 3 b. Figure 2 c. Figure 1 d. Figure 4

#### Solution:

49 = 7
[72 = 49]

As 7 is a positive number, it will be 7 units to the right of 0 on the number line.
[Negative numbers will be to the left of 0 and positive numbers will be to the right of 0 on the number line.]

So, 7 is represented on the number line as shown.

9.
Which number line represents $\sqrt{64}$?

 a. Figure 1 b. Figure 3 c. Figure 4 d. Figure 2

#### Solution:

64 = 8
[82 = 64]

As 8 is a positive number, it will be 8 units to the right of 0 on the number line.
[Negative numbers will be to the left of 0 and positive numbers will be to the right of 0 on the number line.]

So, 8 is represented on the number line as shown.

10.
Between which two consecutive integers does $\sqrt{230}$ lie?
 a. 17 and 18 b. 16 and 17 c. 14 and 15 d. 15 and 16

#### Solution:
