Root of '3' is NOT rational.

It is an IRRATIONAL Number.

To 9 d.p. it is sqrt(3) = 1.732050808....

NB THE square roots of prime numbers are irrational , just like 'pi = 3.141592....'.

NNB A irrational number, put casually, is a number were the decimals go to inifinty and there is no regular order in the number2.
