The diagonal of a unit square (1x1) is irrational; the circumference of a circle with diameter 1 is irrational. There are many situations when such measures are required. Also, there are far more Irrational Numbers than there are rational, so you would be restricting yourself considerably if irrationals were excluded.

How do you estimate an irrational number and why do you need for?
How an irrational number is estimated depends on the nature of the number. The reason for estimating them is that two of the most important numbers in mathematics: pi in geometry and e in calculus, are both irrational. Also, the diagonal of a unit square is of length sqrt(2), an irrational. Irrational numbers crop up everywhere: there are more irrational numbers than there are rational.
Are imaginary numbers irrational numbers?
No. Irrational numbers are real numbers, therefore it is not imaginary.
Is it true that no irrational numbers are whole numbers?
Yes, no irrational numbers are whole numbers.
If you add two irrational numbers do you get an irrational number?
Not necessarily. The sum of two irrational numbers can be rational or irrational.
Are real numbers irrational numbers?
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.
Is the number 11.2092 a irrational number?
No, because if need be it can be expressed as a fraction whereas irrational numbers can't be expressed as fractions.
