(N/A) We can visualize the number $4.\overline{26}$ or $4.2626\ldots$ on the number line using the process of successive magnification.
$I$. The number $4.2626\ldots$ lies between $4$ and $5$. We divide the interval $[4, 5]$ into $10$ equal parts and locate $4.2$ and $4.3$.
$II$. The number $4.2626\ldots$ lies between $4.2$ and $4.3$. We magnify the interval $[4.2, 4.3]$ and divide it into $10$ equal parts to locate $4.26$ and $4.27$.
$III$. The number $4.2626\ldots$ lies between $4.26$ and $4.27$. We magnify the interval $[4.26, 4.27]$ and divide it into $10$ equal parts to locate $4.262$ and $4.263$.
$IV$. The number $4.2626\ldots$ lies between $4.262$ and $4.263$. We magnify the interval $[4.262, 4.263]$ and divide it into $10$ equal parts. We can now locate $4.2626$ on the number line.

Recall,$\pi$ is defined as the ratio of the circumference (say $c$) of a circle to its diameter (say $d$). That is,$\pi = \frac{c}{d}$. This seems to contradict the fact that $\pi$ is irrational. How will you resolve this contradiction?

Classroom activity (Constructing the 'square root spiral') : Take a large sheet of paper and construct the 'square root spiral' in the following fashion. Start with a point $O$ and draw a line segment $OP_1$ of unit length. Draw a line segment $P_1P_2$ perpendicular to $OP_1$ of unit length (see Fig.). Now draw a line segment $P_2P_3$ perpendicular to $OP_2$. Then draw a line segment $P_3P_4$ perpendicular to $OP_3$. Continuing in this manner,you can get the line segment $P_{n-1}P_n$ by drawing a line segment of unit length perpendicular to $OP_{n-1}$. In this manner,you will have created the points $P_2, P_3, ..., P_n, ...$,and joined them to create a beautiful spiral depicting $\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3}, \sqrt{4}, ...$.
