To find the positive square root of a positive real number, we follow the following steps.

  1. Obtain the positive real number x (say).
  2. Draw a line and mark a point A on it.
  3. Mark a point B on the line such that AB = x units.
  4. From point B mark a distance of 1 unit and mark this new point as P.
  5. Find the mid-point of AP and mark the point as O.
  6. Draw a circle with centre O and radius OP.
  7. Draw a line perpendicular to AP passing through B and intersecting the semicircle at D. Length BD is equal to √x
