Answer: let us assume that 3+2 root under 5.
p/q=3+2root under 5 ( where p and q are co-prime integers and is not equal to 0)
Squaring both side
(p/q)^2 =(3+2root under 5)^2
P^2/q^2 =9+20+12 root under 5
P^2/q^2-29=12 root under 5
P^2/12q^2-29= root under 5
We know that root under 5 is an irrational Number.
But it contradicts our statement that 3+ 2root under 5 is a rational number.
So, 3+ 2 root under 5 is an irrational Number.
