Answer:

The square root of 3 is an irrational number

Explanation:

A rational number is defined as a number that can be expressed as the division of two integers, i.e. p/q. where q is not zero.

√3 = 1.7320508075688772...and keeps getting longer. √3 is an irrational number because the decimal point does not end or repeat.
