The real-world problem most likely to involve irrational numbers is:
**finding the side length of a square based on the area.**
This is because if you have a square with a given area \( A \), the side length \( s \) can be found using the formula \( s = \sqrt{A} \). The square root of many numbers is an irrational number (e.g., the square root of 2, 3, etc.), particularly when \( A \) is not a perfect square.
