Answer:

No it is not.

Explanation:

We divide 36 by 6 first:


\sqrt{(36)/(6)}=√(6)

The square root of 6 is not a rational number. It has no whole number square root, so it is not a rational number.

It is not.

If you divide 36÷6, you get 6.
Now square root it (√6), and you will get 2.449489743...

These are numbers that are not formed in a pattern. If it was, let's day, 2.444444..., it would be rational. For this problem, it is not.
