Pi is used in work with circles or ellipses. For example, how far a car will move in one rotation of its tyre. That may seem a silly question but that is how the odometer works.

Irrational square roots will occur in many measurements. The diagonal of a square or the principal diagonal of a cube will always be irrational. That will also be the case for most rectangles and cuboids.

The number e has many uses in advanced mathematics.

In art and architecture, the Golden Ratio is an irrational number. The Fibonacci sequence, which crops up in nature in many situations, is closely related to the Golden Ratio.

These are some examples.
