Answer:

No

150 = 5√6

Explanation:

No but it is close 150 is close to 144 which is a perfect square. 150 is

25 * 6 and 25 is a perfect square.

√(5 * 5 * 6)

You can take one of the 5s outside the square root sign and discard the other one. That still leaves you with sqrt(6) which cannot be reduced any further.

A perfect square is something like √144 = 12 where nothing is left under the root sign.

Answer: 5√6 Not a perfect square.
