The irrational numbers cannot be exactly placed on the number line because they are non-repeating and non-terminating decimals. However, we can make an estimation of where these irrational numbers would approximately fall on the number line.
- √2 (approximately 1.41) would be closer to B.
- √3 (approximately 1.73) would be closer to B.
- √5 (approximately 2.24) would be closer to E.
- √7 (approximately 2.65) would be closer to D.
