Question

anonymous · Answer

No, no way. Do you know what an irrational number is?

miracrown · Answer

The square and the square root are inverse operations 

$$\sqrt{x ^{2}}$$

So the idea is we have some perfect square and we can call that x^2
So then the square root of that is s x

And an irrational number would be the square root of a prime number
like root 2 or root 5

Therefore, it is false false - because a perfect square has a whole number as the root and whole numbers are not irrational.
