1 answer

To determine which of the given options is an irrational number that falls between \( \sqrt{14} \) and \( \sqrt{18} \), we can evaluate each option:

  1. Calculating \( \sqrt{14} \) and \( \sqrt{18} \):
    • \( \sqrt{14} \) is approximately \( 3.74 \).
    • \( \sqrt{18} \) is approximately \( 4.24 \).

Now, let's check the options:

  1. Checking \( \sqrt{15} \):

    • \( \sqrt{15} \) is approximately \( 3.87 \).
    • Since \( 3.74 < 3.87 < 4.24 \), \( \sqrt{15} \) is between \( \sqrt{14} \) and \( \sqrt{18} \).
  2. Checking \( \sqrt{13} \):

    • \( \sqrt{13} \) is approximately \( 3.61 \).
    • Since \( 3.61 < 3.74 \), it's not between \( \sqrt{14} \) and \( \sqrt{18} \).
  3. Checking \( \sqrt{10} \):

    • \( \sqrt{10} \) is approximately \( 3.16 \).
    • Since \( 3.16 < 3.74 \), it's not between \( \sqrt{14} \) and \( \sqrt{18} \).
  4. Checking \( \sqrt{19} \):

    • \( \sqrt{19} \) is approximately \( 4.36 \).
    • Since \( 4.36 > 4.24 \), it's not between \( \sqrt{14} \) and \( \sqrt{18} \).

Therefore, the only irrational number that is between \( \sqrt{14} \) and \( \sqrt{18} \) is:

\( \sqrt{15} \).
