- Every rational number has a decimal expansion that either terminates (like 42.23517) or repeats (like 26.1447676767676...)
- Pi's decimal expansion neither terminates nor repeats
- Hence, Pi cannot be rational.
If we could prove the first two statements, this would constitute a proof that Pi is irrational, but most people cannot provide proof of either. Most proofs on this issue are quite technical, but I'm hoping to return to this question with a suitable answer soon.

That's the number pi, and yes, it is irrational.
Why is pi a rational number?
Pi is irrational.
Why the area of a circle with a rational radius must be an irrational number?
It the radius is r then the area is pi*r*r - which is pi times a rational number. pi is an irrational number, so the multiple of pi and a rational number is irrational.
