Answer:
√27 is rational
Step-by-step explanation:
Let √27 be rational
∴√27= where a and b are co-primes
(√27)²=()²
27=
27b²=a²
∴a² is a factor of 27
∴a is a factor of 27
Let a=27c for some integer c
∴ 27b²=(27c)²
∴b²=27c²
∴b² is a factor of 27
∴b is a factor of 27
This is a contradiction because we had assumed that a and b are co-prime.
∴√27 is irrational
