Answer:

Explanation:

It's Irrational.

sqrt(70) = sqrt(2 * 5 * 7)

You can't pull anything out of the right to leave the number under the root sign = to 1. That means that since all three roots are irrational, the whole number is irrational, In fact it takes only 1 number other than 1 left under the root sign to make the result irrational.

√50 = √(5 * 5 * 2)

The 5's will produce one number outside the root sign -- five. That makes the result

5√2 The result is irrational because √2 is irrational
