1. Why would the square root of 2 be classified as an irrational number?

Answer :

Answer:

If it is a fraction, then we must be able to write it down as a simplified fraction like this:

m/n

(m and n are both whole numbers)

And we are hoping that when we square it we get 2:

(m/n)2 = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be considered irrational because it cannot be written as a fraction because if it could be written as a fraction then we would have the absurd case that the fraction would have even numbers at both top and bottom so could always be simplified
