You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Between 2 and 3 there are infinite irrational numbers (and infinite rational numbers too).

ONE IDEA:
If sqrt%28x%29 is between 2 and 3,
then 2%3Csqrt%28x%29%3C3 means that 2%5E2%3C%28sqrt%28x%29%29%5E2%3C3%5E2, which means 4%3Cx%3C9
So highlight%28sqrt%285%29%29 is a solution, and so are
highlight%28sqrt%286%29%29 , highlight%28sqrt%287%29%29, and highlight%28sqrt%288%29%29.

FANCIER IDEAS:
You probably know that pi is an irrational number that is between 3 and 4.
So 3%3Cpi%3C4 means that 2=3-1%3Cpi-1%3C4-1%3C3.
highlight%28+pi-1+%29 is another irrational number between 2 and 3.

FANCIER:
You may not know it, but there is an irrational number called e that is approximately 2.7183.
It is sort of like pi in that there is no other way to express it, and to describe it you have to tell a story. However, the story of e is more complicated than the story of pi.
