.

number

decimal​​​​​​​

Answer 1

The expression \( \sqrt{32} \) can be classified in two ways:

1. Number: It is indeed a number, specifically an irrational number because it cannot be expressed as a simple fraction. The approximate value of \( \sqrt{32} \) is about 5.65685.

2. Decimal: It can also be expressed as a decimal, and as mentioned, its approximate decimal form is 5.65685.

So, the classifications for \( \sqrt{32} \) are:

• Number: Yes
• Decimal: Yes

If you need to select just one classification, you can choose either "number" or "decimal," but both are correct in this context.
