Given: 3=1.732, 2=1.414

Suppose t=13-2

Let's rationalize by multiplying both numerator and denominator by 3+2

t=13-2×3+23+2

t=3+23-23+2

t=3+2(3)2-(2)2 [Since (a+b)(a-b)=a2-b2]

t=3+23-2

t=3+21

t=3+2 -----(1)

Now put the given values in equation (1)

t=(1.732)+(1.414)

t=3.146
Here, we get  13-2=3.146.
