Let 3√3 be a rational number.
A rational number can be written in the form of p/q.
3√3 = p/q
√3 = p/3q
p,q are integers then p/3q is a rational number.
Then √3 is also a rational number.
But this contradicts the fact that √3 is an irrational number.
So our supposition is false.
Therefore,3√3 is an irrational number.
Hence proved
