No. Here is a counter-example:
x = 1 + sqrt(2)
y = 2 - sqrt(2)
x and y are irrational.
x + y = 3 is rational.

Are irrational numbers closed under addition?
No. For example, the sum of pi and -pi is zero, which is rational - while each of the addends is irrational.
What are irrational numbers closed under?
Irrational numbers are not closed under any of the fundamental operations. You can always find cases where you add two irrational numbers (for example), and get a rational result. On the other hand, the set of real numbers (which includes both rational and irrational numbers) is closed under addition, subtraction, and multiplication - and if you exclude the zero, under division.
Why are irrational numbers called surds?
Irrational number are NOT called surds. For example, pi is irrational but it is not a surd.Surds are a very small subset of irrational numbers.
What number is both real and irrational?
All irrational numbers are Real numbers - it's part of the definition of an irrational number. Imaginary numbers are neither rational nor irrational. An example of a number that is both Real and irrational is the square root of two. Another example is the number pi.
What is a example of irrational number?
An Irrational Number is a Number that cannot be converted to a Fraction and has an unstoppable amount of numbers after the decimal point. For Example, Pi is the most famous irrational number. If I didn't answer your question, search up Irrational Numbers.
Are irrational numbers closed under addition?
No. For example, the sum of pi and -pi is zero, which is rational - while each of the addends is irrational.
Are irrational addition numbers closed under the closure property?
No. For example, the square root of two plus (minus the square root of two) = 0, which is not an irrational number.

On the other hand, the set of real numbers (which includes both rational and irrational numbers) is closed under addition, subtraction, and multiplication - and if you exclude the zero, under division.
Is the sum of two irrational numbers irrational?
not always. nothing can be generalized about the sum of two irrational number. counter example. x=(sqrt(2) + 1), y=(1 - sqrt20) then x + y = 1, rational.
What is example of irrational numbers?
[ square root of (2) ] is irrational
Is the product of three irrational numbers always an irrational number?
No. The easiest counter-example to show that the product of two irrational numbers can be a rational number is that the product of √2 and √2 is 2. Likewise, the cube root of 2 is also an irrational number, but the product of 3√2, 3√2 and 3√2 is 2.
Why are irrational numbers called surds?

Can an irrational number be a decimal if so give an example?
Irrational numbers are decimal numbers that can't be expressed as fractions. An example is the square root of 2

Are repeating decimals rational?
Yes. Rational numbers are numbers or decimals that repeat or terminate. Irrational numbers do not. For example π is an irrational number.
Example of two irrational numbers the product of which is an irrational number?
sqrt(2)*sqrt(3) is an irrational product.
