I'm assuming you're wondering if a number is a perfect square?

Well, memorization will help as will guess and check. However, if you feel like doing it all by hand, simplifying the square will help you determine if it is a perfect square.

Example: let's figure out if the number 225 is a perfect square.

Let's take 225 and factor it. When you factor this number, you want to look at factoring numbers which are a perfect square in and of themselves. So 22 is 4, but that doesn't factor, how about 52 ? 25 will indeed factor, so we have 25*9 (look at that, 9 is also a factor). If we split it up like this, we have sqrt(25*9). We can take the square root of these individually and multiply them together. sqrt(25)*sqrt(9) = 5*3 = 15. Therefore 225 is a perfect square of 15.

Can the square of an irrational number be rational?

The answer to this question confuses me. The square root of two is an irrational number, so obviously if the square root of two is squared it becomes two which is a rational number. Thinking of it that way then the answer is yes, the square of an irrational number can be a rational number. But . . . You had to know beforehand that the irrational number was the square root of another number. If you start out with an irrational number such as Pi you cannot square it because you cannot know the entire number in order to square it.
