There are very many uses for them. A square, whose sides are a rational number, will have a diagonal of irrational length. The diagonals of most rectangles, with rational sides, will be irrational. The circumference and area of a circle (or ellipse) is related to pi, an irrational number. In the same way that pi is central to geometry, another irrational number, e, is fundamental to advanced calculus.
The rules for using Irrational Numbers are essentially the same as those for rational numbers. The main difference is that you cannot express an irrational number exactly as a decimal number.
They are irrational numbers!
No. Irrational numbers are real numbers, therefore it is not imaginary.
Yes, no irrational numbers are whole numbers.
False. Irrational numbers are real numbers.
Any of the numbers which cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers is irrational.
Pi and the square root of two are irrational numbers.
They are irrational numbers!
They are numbers that are infinite
Irrational numbers are real numbers.
yes * * * * * No. Rational and irrational numbers are two DISJOINT subsets of the real numbers. That is, no rational number is irrational and no irrational is rational.

There are many common numbers in mathematics which are not rational. Two of the most important numbers in mathematics are pi and e: both are irrational.
properties of irrational numbers
No. Irrational numbers are real numbers, therefore it is not imaginary.
Yes, no irrational numbers are whole numbers.
Not necessarily. The sum of two irrational numbers can be rational or irrational.
No, but the majority of real numbers are irrational. The set of real numbers is made up from the disjoint subsets of rational numbers and irrational numbers.
