Answer:
root 2 is irrational
Step-by-step explanation:
let root 2=a/b (where a and b are integers and are co prime)
then squaring both sides
2=a^2/b^2
a^2*2=b^2 --------(1)
2a=b
now let there be some integer c for 2a that satisfy the equation
putting c =2a in equation (1)
b=4c
that means it contradict that a and b are co-prime to each other.
Hence,our assumption is wrong
root 2 is irrational
