Answer:
Therefore, r - 2 is also an irrational number. ⇒ r is an irrational number. Hence our assumption r is a rational number is wrong. Hence, 2 + √2 is not a rational number.

Step-by-step explanation:
by method of contradiction
let 2√2 be a rational number
then we can write 2√2 = p/q where q≠ 0
=> √2 = 1/2 [p/q]
=> √2 = [p/2q]
on RHS, p/2q is a rational number but on LHS √2 is an irrational number (given)
as LHS ≠ RHS, our assumption made at the beginning is wrong.
hence 2√2 is an irrational number
