Answer:
no. the square root of only PRIME NUMBERS are irrational
prime number means a number which is not divisible by any other number other than itself and 1
eg. 7 is a prime number because it is not divisible by any number other than 7 ( itself ) and 1
rational number is a number which can be represented in p/q format, where p and q are integers and q is not equal to 0

No, the square roots of all positive integers are not irrational.
For example,
√4 = 2 is rational
√9 = 3 is rational.
Hence, the square roots of positive integers 4 and 9 are not irrational. (2 and 3, respectively)
