Answer:


\bold{2√(3) ~is~irrational.}

Explanation:

Hi there!


\bold{2√(3) } is an irrational number.

Now, what is an irrational number? An irrational number is a number that goes on for ever.

Examples:
\bold{\pi ,√(2) , √(3) ....}


\bold{√(3) } is a surd (an irrational square root)

If we multiply 2 times
\bold{√(3) }, we will get an irrational number.

Thus,
\bold{2√(3) } is an irrational number.

Hope it helps! Enjoy your day!
