Who were the mathematicians who contributed to the discovery of real numbers?

It has been known from very ancient times that the length of the diagonal of a unit square is not a rational number. There were no specific mathematicians who "discovered" real numbers. Furthermore, all mathematicians of any significance, contributed to our understanding of real numbers.


What is the length of a rectangle whose diagonal is 32 inch?

The diagonal of a rectangle does not provide enough information to determine the length of the rectangle. Let L be any real number such that 32/sqrt(2) < L < 32. let B = sqrt(32^2 - L^2) Since L < 32 the above square root exists, and since L > 32/sqrt(2), B < L. So the rectangle with sides of L and B will have a diagonal of 32 inches. But L is any of an infinite number of possible real numbers. Therefore there are infinitely many possible solutions.
