Step-by-step explanation:
Euclid's proof starts with the assumption that √2 is equal to a rational number p/q.
1....√2=p/q. Squaring both sides,
2...2=p²/q² The equation can be rewritten as.
3..2q²=p² From this equation, we know p² must be even (since it is 2 multiplied by some number). ...
4..2q²=p²=(2m)²=4m² or. ...
5..q²=2m² ...
6..√2=p/q=2m/2n. ...
7...√2=m/n.
