Lots of Irrational Numbers are used; some of the more commonly used ones are:
- Square roots of different numbers
- Higher roots (cubic roots, etc.) of different numbers
- The number pi
- The number e
- Results of trigonometric calculations; for example, the sine or cosine of certain angles

When are irrational numbers used in mathematics?
Two of the most important numbers in advanced mathematics are pi and e and both are irrational.
How are irrational numbers used?
Irrational numbers can not be expressed as fractions whereas rational numbers can be expressed as fractions
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.
Why is square root 31 irrational?
In mathematics, an irrational number is any real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio of integers. Irrational numbers cannot be represented as terminating or repeating decimals.The square root of 31 is one such.
What can irrational numbers be defined as?
In mathematics, an irrational number is any real number which cannot be expressed as a fraction a/b, where a and b are integers, with b non-zero, and is therefore not a rational number
