The number π (pi) can be described as follows:
-
Real number: True. π is a real number because it exists on the number line.
-
Natural number: False. π is not a natural number, as natural numbers are positive integers (1, 2, 3, ...), and π is approximately 3.14159, which is not an integer.
-
Rational number: False. π is not a rational number because it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers.
-
Irrational number: True. π is an irrational number, meaning it cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers, and its decimal representation is non-repeating and non-terminating.
So, the correct descriptions of π are: real number and irrational number.
