What you've shown is that that particular number (0.0178.../the length of the pencil in metres) is describable. This isn't the same as showing every real number is describable. There are some numbers which are not the length of anything (in metres), or the mass of anything (in kilograms), or the square root or sin of anything. You could try to capture more numbers by using descriptions like "the length of this pencil in feet" and other made-up units of measurement, but you'll never describe them all.
