I am not sure whether the term "incommensurable" is appropriate here; the official term is "irrational", which means it can't be expressed exactly as a ratio: you can't write a fraction with integer numerator and denominator which is exactlyequal to the square root of 5 (or of any other integer that is not a perfect square) - but you can obviously get very close to the exact value with such a fraction. If you write the square root of 5 as a decimal, you will get an infinite amount of decimal digits, which will not repeat.

What is the square root of 175 multiplied the square root of 5?
5 times the square root of 35 which is about 29.58039892
What is the square root of 5square root of 5 square root of 5 and so on?
It seems to be 25. Call your number "x". x = 5 square root of (5 square root of (5 ...) Square it; this will eliminate the outermost square root sign: x squared = 25 times 5 square root of (5 square root of (... Dividing the second equation by the first one, you get: x squared / x = 25 x / x x = 25
