Answer:

26

Explanation:

Comment

Irrational means that the number cannot be represented as a fraction. This question means that the square root itself is between 5 and 7. Be careful how you read the question.

That means you have to take the square root of the given number and see where it lands.

√13 = 3.61 which is not between 5 and 7

√6 is going to be even smaller. Not the answer

√25 = 5 The question says between. Not the answer.

√26 = 5.09 which is greater than 5 and and less than 7
