Answer:

Explanation:

1. The irrational means that any real number that cannot be expressed as the quotient of two integers. In this case, if the numbers cannot be a perfect square they are irrational!

2. Find the answer:

√36= 6*6

This means this is a rational number

√44. This cannot exactly be divided in whole so this is irrational!

√81=9*9. This is rational since it is a perfect square

√144. This is rational since it cant be divided into whole!12*12=144

3. Answer:

B is the answer or √44
