Question

Is square root of 100 irrational or rational?

Answer 1

For this case we have the following number:

`√(100)`
By power properties we can rewrite the number.
We have then:

`√(100) = √(10*10)`

`√(100) = √(10^2)`

`√(100) = 10`
We observe that the result can be written as the quotient between two whole numbers.
For example:

`(200)/(20) = 10`
This means that the number is rational.
Answer:
square root of 100 is rational.

Answer 2

Square root of 100 is a rational number. Because sqaure rooot 100 = 10. And, 10 can be written in the form rational number. Any number that can be written in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q in not zero is called a rational number.
