Answer:

a , d , e are surds

Explanation:

When we cannot simplify a number to remove a square root or cube root, etc , then it is a surd


√(2) cannot be simplified further, then it is a surd


√(4) is 2 and is not a surd

a


√(17) ← is a surd

b


√(36) = 6 ← is not a surd

c


√(100) = 10 ← is not a surd

d


√(15) ← is a surd

e


√(30) ← is a surd
