Take the irrational number \"sqrt%287%29\" and multiply it by itself \"sqrt%287%29\" to get \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%287%29%2Asqrt%287%29=sqrt%287%2A7%29=sqrt%2849%29=7\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"sqrt%287%29%2Asqrt%287%29=7\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So by multiplying \"sqrt%287%29\" by itself, we took the irrational number and made it into a rational number (7 is rational since \"7=7%2F1\")
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
