Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't. The square root of 2 and the square root of 3 are both irrational, as is their product, the square root of 6. The square root of 2 and the square root of 8 are both irrational, but their product, the square root of 16, is rational (in fact, it equals 4).
Is the square root of 32 an irrational or a rational number?
The square root of a positive integer can ONLY be:* Either an integer, * Or an irrational number. (The proof of this is basically the same as the proof, in high school algebra books, that the square root of 2 is irrational.) Since in this case 32 is not the square of an integer, it therefore follows that its square root is an irrational number.
Does 2 have a square root?
