substituting for a we get to b² is equals to 4c² that is b² is equals to 2 c² this means that 2 divides b square so to divides b ,a and b have at least 2 to as a common factor but this contradicts the fact that a and b have no common factor other than 1 as they are co-prime this contradiction has a rise in because our in correct assumption that that is root 2 is irrational so we conclude that root 2 is irrational

PROOF:
. let us assume that is not an irrational.
is rational.
= where p,q= 0 q is 0. p,q are co - primes.
squaring on both sides.
= (
2=
=
is divisible by 2.
is also divisible by 2.
from equation 1
=
=
=
= =
is divisible by 2 .
is also divisible by 2.
2 is the common factor for both p,q but p,q are co - primes
It is contradiction to our assumption
oure assumption is wrong.
is not a rational
is an irrational.
