1.3: Square Roots of Non-Perfect Squares

Non Perfect Squares: numbers that can’t be multiplied into by two of the same rational numbers

Ex. √48, √33, √6

These numbers are non-perfect squares because no numbers can multiply into it by itself (2×2 won’t work, 3×3 won’t work, 4×4 won’t work, 5×5 work work etc.)

  • non-perfect squares are considered to be irrational
