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.
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.
If you add two irrational numbers do you get an irrational number?
