Let us assume that 2+√3 is a rational number which means 2+√3 =r , where "r" is a rational number.
Squaring to both sides , we get
(2+√3)²=r²
2²+2×2×√3+(√3)²=r²
4+4√3+3=r²
7+4√3=r²
4√3=r²-7
√3=r²-7

Here, we find that LHS is irrational.But RHS is rational.
This contradicts the fact that 2+√3 is rational.
This means that our assumption was wrong.
Hence, 2+√3 is an irrational number.
