Given the two expressions shown below: square root of 64 plus square root of 5 square root of 64 plus square root of 4 Which statement best describes the two expressions? Both are rational. Both are irrational. A is rational, but B is irrational. A is irrational, but B is rational.
\[\sqrt{64}+\sqrt{5}\]
\[\sqrt{64}+\sqrt{4}\]

Question: What does the square root of 64 equal?
8 ?
Yes. What is square root of 4
2 ?
So that means that B is rational then right?
The numbers 8 and 2 are rational because they can be expressed as fractions: 8/1 and 2/1. Irrational numbers cannot.
Question: Is the square root of 5 a rational number?
Not at all no.
Good. We are ready to answer the question. A) square root of 64 plus square root of 5 = 8 + square root of 5 The whole thing is irrational if any part of the sum is irrational. B) square root of 64 plus square root of 4 = 8 + 2 = 10. 10 is a rational number because it can be written as the ratio of two integers: 10/1. So, Option B represenets a rational number.
So, what is the final answer to the question
So that means the A is irrational, but B is rational, henceforth it is D right?
Correct: A is irrational, but B is rational.
