Hey!
3- Let's suppose √2 is a rational number. Then we can write it √2 = a/b where a, b are whole numbers, b not zero.
We additionally assume that this a/b is simplified to lowest terms, since that can obviously be done with any fraction. Notice that in order for a/b to be in simplest terms, both of a and b cannot be even. One or both must be odd. Otherwise, we could simplify a/b further.
From the equality √2 = a/b it follows that 2 = a2/b2, or a2 = 2 · b2. So the square of a is an even number since it is two times something.
hope it will be helpful ✌️
