The square root of 2 is irrational

Here, we want to check if the square root of 2 is rational or not

When we talk of rational numbers, we mean numbers that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers

Roots of non-perfect squares such as two are not rational. They are referred to as irrational numbers. The special name they are called is surd
