Question

Is the square root of eight a rational or irrational

Answer 1

rational number.
good luck!

Answer 2

The square root of 8, written as
`√(8)` or sqrt(8), is irrational. We cannot represent this as a fraction of whole numbers.

Contrast this with something like sqrt(25) = 5, which is rational since 5 = 5/1 is a fraction of whole numbers.
