Answer:
le us assume that √3 is rational
√3=p/q, where p and q are vo prime
squaring both sides
3=p2/q2
3q2=p2
q2=p2/3
=>p2 is divisible by 3
=>p is divisible by 3
p=3c
q2=(3c) 2/3
q2=9c2/3
q2=3c2
c2=q2/3
=>q2 is divisible by 3
=>q is divisible by 3
=> p and q have a common factor
this contradict our assumption
therefore, √3 is irrational
