I extended the precision further, far enough for Wolfram Alpha to identify these:


  output                     Wolfram Alpha             rationalized
1.7320508075689    sqrt(3)=~1.732050807568877           sqrt(3)
7.5055534994564    13/sqrt(3) =~ 7.505553499465134      (13/3)*sqrt(3)
10.9696551145984   19/sqrt(3)=~10.96965511460288        (19/3)*sqrt(3)
12.1243556529836   7 sqrt(3)=~12.1243556529821410       7*sqrt(3)
