Why pi is not a surd?

'pi' is not a 'surd' because it is not a 'square root' of any number. 'pi' is an IRRATIONAL number. Irrational numbers are those were the decimals go to infinity AND the decinal digits are not in any regular order. pi = 3.141592654.... (recur to infinity and no regular order0. 'pi' in surd form is sqrt(pi) = sqrt(3.141592654....) = 1.772453851..... (which is also irrational). In school/college etc., you are given 'pi = 3.14 , 3.1416 , 22/7' Tese are only APPROXIMATIONS for ease of calculating. 'Super Dupa' computers have calculated 'pi' to at least 50 billion places and still going. NB A decimal number such as 1.33333.... is NOT irrational. It is RATIONAL , because it can be converted to a ration/quotient/fraction. Irrational numbers cannot be converted to an exact value 'ratio/quotient/fraction'. Notice the decimal digits are in a regular order of '3'....
