SurdText[]

Hi,


Should SurdText[15 sqrt(29)] give a decimal answer?


I have read this, but I'm not convinced that it shouldn't work.

Since this command works with a rounded decimal number as input, sometimes the result will be unexpected.

If a suitable answer can't be found, the number will be returned.

Example: SurdText[1.23456789012345] returns 1.23456789012345.

Thanks Noel, I didn't think of that. Of course I didn't expect it to be necessary either ;)


I was actually trying

    SurdText[√(75²+30²)]
