Maybe it could've been:
3x = 32. Find the value of x.
Hence, you'd do 32 divided by 3 to find the value of x.
Answer:
Take a line segment AB = 2 units (consider 1 unit = 2 cm) on x-axis.
Draw a perpendicular on B and construct a line BC = 1 unit length.
Join AC which will be √5 (Pythagoras theorem). Take A as center, and AC as radius draw an which cuts the x-axis at point E.
The line segment AC represents √5 unit
The "cylinder" has a diameter of 6, and therefore its radius is half that, or 3, thus
