Question

Which is a rational number? A. square root of 10 B. square root of 24 C. square root of 36 D. square root of 44

Answer 1

A rational number is any number that can be divided into a whole number by another whole number.

Let's try to see which of these square roots have a rational number.

First, let's try A.
√10 = 3.33~
This is irrational, as it has a repeating decimal, and cannot be divided into any whole number.

Now, let's try B.
√24 = 4.8979
This cannot be divided into a whole number by another whole number, so this is irrational.

Now let's try C.
√36 = 6.
This is a rational number, as 6 can be divided into a whole number by another whole number (6/2 = 3, 6/1 = 6).

Just to be sure, let's also try D.
√44 = 6.633249
This is irrational, as it cannot be divided into a whole number by another whole number.

Your answer is C.) √36.

I hope this helps!
