Hello Mate!

let \: x   \:  = 2 +  \sqrt{2}  \\  {x}^{2}  =  {(2 +  \sqrt{2} )}^{2}  \\  {x}^{2}  = 4 + 2 + 4 \sqrt{2}  \\  \frac{ {x}^{2} - 6 }{4}  =  \sqrt{2}

Here, ( x^2 - 6 ) / 4 is rational which is equivalent to root 2 but we arrise at contradiction that root 2 is irrational.

Therefore,

2 +  \sqrt{2}  \: is \: irrational \: no.

Hope it helps☺!
