wrong
I apologize for the previous incorrect response.
The correct answer is:
The irrational number between 5 and 7 is 12−−√.
To determine which of the given numbers is an irrational number between 5 and 7, we need to find their approximate values.
First, let's calculate the square roots of the given numbers:
√6 ≈ 2.449
√12 ≈ 3.464
√27 ≈ 5.196
√36 = 6
Now, we can see that √6 is greater than 5 but less than 7, so it is an irrational number between 5 and 7.
Thus, the correct answer is 6√.
